BASIC JUDAISM
For Young People

"One of my favorites of all time is the Basic Judaism series."

Use concepts to teach history, stories to teach morality, heroes to teach values. The teachers and sages of the past mastered this teaching strategy--and it is as appropriate today as it was in talmudic times.

The Basic Judaism series weaves together history, belief, ritual, halachah, and tradition to convey the richly textured fabric of Jewish life.

This encyclopedic course can be taught in discrete units; includes photographs and artwork.
