Learning About Judaism
Posted in Around the World, Teaching on August 13, 2016
In today’s world it’s so important to be accepting of other religions as all of those religions are all around us. I know when I grew up, back in Texas, I think every single person went to one of three churches in town and they were all Christian. I don’t think I even knew about other religions besides Judaism before I went to high school. I guess I lived in a little bubble. Today our children go to school with people of other faiths and that’s great! It’s not my place to say which is better or which is right, but I do like to learn about other faiths. I created a packet about Judaism because many people I know didn’t know much about Judaism besides Hanukkah and Dreidels. There is much more to this very old religion.
The Judaism unit starts off with a little pretest to see what students know about Judaism. Then, there is a three page letter from a child’s point of view explaining their religion and life. There are many writing activities like these:
My daughter’s favorite parts of the unit were the crafts. Here’s a picture of her with her favorite one.
In this craft students color and label a seder plate in both English and Hebrew.
