Curriculum

This page provides free curricular resources for Jewish day schools, religious schools, camps, youth groups, and adult education organizations. There are lesson plans about Jewish languages, videos, and teachers' guides. If you have ideas for other resources that would be useful, or if you'd like to contribute curricular materials, please get in touch.

This unit provides an alternative to the Ashkenormative orientation of many Jewish educational institutions. It introduces students to the diversity of Jews around the world, past and present, and enables them to see themselves as part of that mosaic.
