Celebrating Jewish American Heritage: Lessons to Reflect and Connect

32
0

Jewish American Heritage Month takes place every year in May. The month is an annual recognition and celebration of the history, achievements, contributions and culture of Jewish people in the United States. In schools and classrooms, Jewish American Heritage Month provides an opportunity to learn about the Jewish community--including who Jewish people are, what they believe in, their culture, hopes and dreams, their history, diversity and complexity. It is also important to remember that May should not be the only time that schools engage in this learning but rather, Jewish history and heritage should be integrated into the curriculum throughout the year.

This collection includes various resources for engaging students in learning, reflection and connection, specifically: lesson plans, short videos to help teach the lessons, Sutori direct-to-student learning experiences that accompany all of the lesson plans, an educators Q+A guide and more.
