Explore a collated list of resources that includes curricula from across Jewish museums, archives, historical sites, and more for teachers to utilize in the classroom. These resources focus on grades K–5, and can be integrated into your secular classroom. 

Education is one of the most powerful ways to teach inclusion and fight hate. Teaching about Jewish life and creating connections to Jewish stories, people, history, and culture are vital to the work of addressing bias and hate, especially amidst rising antisemitism in our schools and communities.
