Becoming Theologians: A Curriculum Guide for 4th-Grade
This curriculum allows students to take a deep dive in both Torah and theology. The students will get the chance to explore their own theology (including their own conceptions/understanding of God and how God does or does not work in the world), while connecting to the Torah. This curriculum is a way for students to question the God portrayed in the Torah and their own ideas of God and to begin to formulate answers to some of life’s biggest theological questions.
