Facing History- Ongoing PD- Partnership School

Morah Shira, Rabbi Hellman, and Mrs Kurtz attended a Facing History and Ourselves mini conference to collaborate with educators from the tristate area in developing meaningful curricula and programs to enhance our teaching. We addressed key issues such as Jewish identity and the portrayal of Jews in the media. As a partnership school, we were chosen to present about our successful educational Meaningful Adjacency program held earlier this year so that other schools could follow our model. Through continued collaboration, Yeshivat Noam will continue to develop meaningful programming to further students' self of self and responsibility as members of the Jewish people and citizens of the world.
