The rhythms of the Jewish year imbue our schools with an energy that becomes a part of us. In this session we will dive into PURIM.
When it comes to understanding Purim's big ideas, hands-on rituals, and the emergent classroom investigations that flow from them, there is much to learn for novice and veteran educators alike.
How do we welcome and embrace this holiday without putting the curriculum on hold?
