Summer of NewCAJE 2021

We don’t learn history if we don’t care. We can induce teens to care by creating strong and focused emotional connections between the learner and the subject via Window to Yesterday -- short, historically accurate adventure novels written with teenage input (with relatable characters the same age as the learners) that are packed with Jewish history and Judaism. Through humor and teen romance, your students will learn about transformative events in our past. Ancient Jewish answers to tough “life issues” can help guide teens today. In this session, we’ll cover specific examples and methods to emotionally connect your learners to our ancestors and to see themselves as links in our collective story. (Middle School and High School)
