We'll examine the rich diversity and history of Jewish Americans, and gain insights that deepen the understandings of identity for all students. Teachers of world history, U.S. history, ethnic studies, human geography and world religions will all find relevant applications and resources in this workshop.

We'll discuss the push and pull factors that brought Jewish immigrants to America, explore the challenges of assimilation, and grapple with the repercussions of the 1924 Immigration Act.
