Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof: Pursuing Justice Through Jewish Holidays
This curriculum guide leads families through 5 major Jewish holidays-- High Holy Days, Hanukkah, Tu Bishvat, Purim, and Passover--, connecting each to specific mindsets, values, and questions aligned with pursuing justice. In each of these units, families first look inward (lesson one), then connect their learning to a community holiday ritual (lesson two), and finally look outward toward the broader world (lesson three). The guide also includes an introductory unit that sets the tone and a closing Shabbat unit. The authentic assessment is a Jewish Social Justice Community Calendar.
