Our social studies curriculum at Yeshivat Noam in the Middle School includes both secular and Jewish history from the beginnings of history in 6th grade to modern times in 8th grade. We believe that history is more meaningful to our students when they understand their own Jewish history/ heritage in the context of broader history.
Ronnie Halibard from Jewish History in a Flash came to present to the 7th grade.
The Events presentation of Jewish History in a Flash puts all the events of Jewish history into time context, providing the students with a clear and simple summary of our nation's past in a time line format. Students left with a timeline book mark that summarized the presentation. Students stayed through lunch to spend time with Ronnie and continue the discussion of Jewish History. Ronnie was beyond impressed with our students and their extensive knowledge about Jewish History, he made sure to tell Ms. Peyser, Rabbi Hellman, and Mrs. Kurtz what a wonderful job they have done in their history curriculums and teaching students about our past.
