Abstract
A unique curriculum developed by Herzog College in collaboration with UnitEd, presenting the Tanakh as a story that shapes Jewish identity.
The program is designed for middle and high school students in Jewish schools worldwide. Studying the biblical text as a story enables students to explore the characters, events, and dilemmas in a way that invites them to connect with the narrative and feel the link between the biblical story and their daily lives.
The entire learning process is available on our website, including teacher units and student worksheets.
The units presented here focus on the story of the Exodus as told in the beginning of the Book of Exodus.
The teaching method is based on Herzog College’s educational principles, such as incorporating realia, emphasizing Jewish identity, using maps, and conducting lessons in an active and engaging way through a variety of dynamic and interesting teaching practices available on the UnitEd website.
