In the last decade, incidents of anti-Jewish harm have increased nearly 900% in the U.S. Unfortunately, K-12 schools have not been exempt from this. Students as young as seven have been harassed, bullied, and intimidated because of their Jewish identity. There has not been any curriculum available to teach American students about who Jews are – until now.
Join the Federation’s Jewish Community Relations Council and the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History for a virtual presentation about their new curriculum, Stories That Shaped a Nation: Jewish Lives in America. You will learn how this curriculum brings the civic, artistic, and cultural dimensions of Jewish peoplehood into classrooms, challenges antisemitism, and celebrates diverse Jewish heritage.
Jewish people have lived in North America since 1654. Their diverse experiences have brought significant contributions to the United States since its founding 250 years ago. Jewish stories and voices deserve to be woven into the teaching of U.S. history, so that all students can understand the role the Jewish community has played in shaping our democratic, pluralistic society.
This webinar is for anybody who cares about the safety and belonging of Jewish students! Even if you are not an educator or a parent, we invite you to join us for this inspiring virtual learning session.
Please RSVP by April 19.
After registering, you will receive the Zoom link to join.
