Jewish Americans Mini-Lessons
Overview
We understand that adding extra content to your curriculum isn’t always easy. That’s why we designed these bite-sized “mini” lessons, each just 20–30 minutes long, to seamlessly fit into your instruction. Each lesson explores a unique aspect of Jewish American history and experience. Whether you have time for one or all seven, these lessons provide meaningful ways to enrich your students’ understanding and foster an appreciation for the multifaceted ways Jewish Americans have contributed to the nation.
