The book is Hope for the Holy Land by Mona Pastroff Goldstein. This book tells the history of modern Israel from 1948 to recent times through the eyes of a Jewish family and their Arab friends, ~ and we experience the confrontations and battles they face in pursuit of peace with their neighbors. There’s an extensive Teachers’ Guide, as well as a glossary and time-line of events – many areas to trigger strong questions and deep thinking. Hope for the Holy Land can be purchased on Amazon or contact the author, Mona Goldstein –[email protected]. She was with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools for over 30 years as a classroom teacher, volunteer coordinator, curriculum writer, assistant principal, and principal, and now retired.

From: Hasafran [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Stacy Katz Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ha-Safran] Israel Curriculum Hi all, My school is in the process of redesigning our Israel curriculum and I was wondering if any of the schools or synagogues on this list have an Israel curriculum that they wouldn't mind sharing. We are a pluralistic Jewish high school, so anything that is aimed for teens would be helpful. Thanks so much, Stacy _________________________ Stacy Katz Librarian Gann Academy 333 Forest St Waltham, MA 02452 781-642-6800 x533 __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected] Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
