About
Looking for great Purim materials? Sefaria’s learning department has gathered a new collection of sheets, Purim on Sefaria: Resources for Educators, which can be used “as is” or adapted to your own learning environment.
Resources are available for elementary through high school.
Highlights of the collection include:
- This year, Matanot L’evyonim, gifts to the poor, are more important than ever. Examine the mitzvah in depth in “Joy and Generosity: Giving on Purim”.
- For a fun and educational way to explore the Megillah and discover hidden elements, take your younger community members on a scavenger hunt.
- Masks that Conceal; Masks that Reveal combines text study with a creative art activity for learners either high school and up, or on the elementary school level.
