This unit represents curricular integration on two levels:

1) On the content level, the unit compares two similar events in history that have implications regarding Jewish existence in foreign cultures. Students have the opportunity to extrapolate from one to the other, and to draw conclusions.

2) On the skills level, the unit demonstrates that the study of history includes a process of interpretation that is similar to parshanut of the Torah text. In this case, the study engages the students in a process of thinking that is integral to both disciplines.

Written for high school students.

What exactly is a kibbutz
What Exactly is a Kibbutz? (and other interesting things about Israel)

Israeli culture is an exquisite blend of ancient and modern and a country that people from West and East have come to call home. Heavily influenced by Jewish law and custom, Israeli culture has borrowed not only from its rich religious roots, but also from the food, music, and art of the people who have emigrated both from Europe (Ashkenazic Jews) and from North Africa and the Middle East (Sephardic Jews).
