Abstract:

What does teaching about Jewish diversity look like? How can we explore these issues effectively in our classrooms? JWA's lesson plans on "Jewish Diversity and Innovation: A View from the Kitchen" (part of an online series available for free) offers one model, exploring Jewish diversity through a Sukkot/Thanksgiving recipe, with lesson plans for use in educational programming with youth, adults, and families.
