Knowledge of the world’s religions is essential for understanding much of history, literature, art, and contemporary events, as well as cultivating mutual respect amongst different faiths. This session aims to increase participants’ knowledge level of one of the world’s oldest religions and its global, historical impact through examining the origin of Judaism, highlighting its rich history, laws, traditions, and diversity, while also recognizing that Judaism has a uniqueness of being a culture, as well as a religion. With Jewish American Heritage Month coming in May, this session is a great opportunity to learn more about Judaism and walk away with resources that are ready-to-use in your classroom.
