This curriculum guide was created to help students find personal meaning in liturgy, as well as understand why prayer is important to Jews and reflect on the relationship Jews have with G-d.
This curriculum guide was written by Debra Cotzin Kellner, 2004 graduate of Hebrew Union College's School of Education. It was designed for 6th graders in a religious school setting.
Congregation Tifereth Israel (CTI), Glen Cove, NY. CTI learners and their families participate in hands-on experiential learning. The curriculum focuses on Jewish values learned through our stories (both modern and ancient).
Community Synagogue of Rye (CSR), NY. Learners in 5th-7th grade meet weekly with a moreh derech (guide/teacher) in each other’s homes to explore Jewish answers to everyday questions. The model includes Family Limmud monthly.
