Grade 7 | Holocaust and Israel
On the cusp of Jewish adulthood, our 7th graders are increasingly more aware of the challenges Jews face in our world today. By focusing our curriculum on learning about the Holocaust and the modern state of Israel, students gain the knowledge that will help them serve as ambassadors for the Jewish people. They will explore modern antisemitism, the Nazi rise to power and the reign of Hitler, as well as the experience of the Jews. The class will then pivot to learn about how the world responded to the Holocaust. Students will explore modern day Israel, including how the state came about and what it means to be a Zionist today. In addition to their regular curriculum, students will have numerous opportunities to engage in tikkun olam projects.
