This curriculum explores three themes within the context of Seder Kriat HaTorah. First is the idea of Seder Kriat HaTorah as a reenactment of the revelation at Sinai. Additionally, each unit explores the relationship between God, Torah and Israel within the text and the balance between keva and kavanah during public prayer. By considering each of these the student will be better prepared to participate meaningfully in the social drama that is Seder Kriat HaTorah. It is intended to be taught one on one by a layperson and provides opportunities for the teacher to learn along with their student.

This curriculum guide was created for 4th-6th graders (pre B'Mitzvah age) who are currently in a health/homecare setting that prohibit them from being in a synagogue setting. This guide was created by Eliana Hall, 2008 graduate of HUC-JIR School of Education.
