The new 2015-2016 catalog is available online here to allow you to see our newest releases and get a head start on planning for next year.
From our six new childrens titles, to our new materials and curriculums from the alliance with URJ Press, to your favorite classic childrens stories in Hebrew, we have everything you need to plan for any lesson, event, or just for fun activity available.
Here's a look at some of the new materials in the 2015-2016 catalog:
Help your students understand courage with the first student journal in the new Bible series, Jewish Values in Genesis: If I Could Ask Abraham. From Abraham and Sarah's faith and trust in journeying to a new land, to Rebecca's kindness at the well, to the jealousy and betrayal of Joseph by his brothers, we learn something new about ourselves and our relationships from the ups and downs of our biblical ancestors.
Our recently announced partnership with the URJ ensures that URJ Press books and software will continue to be available to educators throughout North America. Behrman House will become publishing home to a broad range of authors including Tina Wasserman (Entrée to Judaism), Rabbi Steven Rau and Stacey Levy (Everyone is Welcome), Scott Aaron (Jewish U), and Rabbi Rifat Sonsino (And God Spoke These Words).
