Jewish Values: A Journey of Discovery

New Class

ShalomLearning’s values-based curriculum includes the core components of Jewish education while connecting Jewish values to students’ own real-life experiences so students will love learning about being Jewish!

Each value launches the study of Jewish texts, history, and holidays—as well as opportunities for students to reflect on how they can practice the value and articulate its meaning for their own lives strengthening students’ connections not only to Jewish learning but also to world Jewish communities, inviting them to explore the broad spectrum of Jewish identities and learn about what Judaism has meant—and can mean—to Jews everywhere.
