This curriculum guide is intended to help students connect spiritually to Judaism in a way that is meaningful to each individual.  Through four units of study - peoplehood, ritual, prayer and God - students have the opportunity to explore three major principles in Judaism: God, Torah and Israel. Students are given opportunities to explore their own connections through a variety of Jewish texts, rituals and field trips.
