Shine A Light Lessons for Congregational Schools- 3-5 Grade
In two lessons, one recommended for 3rd/4th and one recommended for 4th/5th, educators will guide students through exploring the connections between bullying and antisemitism and their Jewish obligation to serve as UpStanders for others, and how to engage others in being their ally. The framework is set against the story of the Maccabees, who role model for us having the courage (internal light) to stand against antisemitism.
