To Israel and Back: A Journey to Our Future (P.O.W.E.R.)
This curriculum uses the months before and after a teen trip to Israel to enhance the Jewish identity of participating teens. The overall focus is to help students become better informed about Israel so that when they consider their connections to Israel, they will be able to critically determine the factors that shape each of them as individuals and link their identities to Israel and the Jewish people. From there, the curriculum introduces to students avenues for developing and expressing these connections, in local communities and beyond. For 7th-12th grades. » Learn more...
