Shine A Light Lessons for Day Schools - 9-12 Grade
This content is designed for high school educators in day school environments to use with their learners in the weeks leading up to and during Chanukah. We are providing you with multiple pathways through this lesson. This lesson can be delivered in one long session or two shorter sessions. If the educator wants to divide the lesson into two sessions, the first session would focus on understanding the Maccabean Revolt and discuss modern day antisemitism. The second session would focus on modern-day changemakers and how they are ‘beacons of light,’ reminiscent of the Maccabees of the past.
