Re: [ha-Safran] Resources on Jews during European Exploration

Artscroll published a book for youth in 1986, The Exiles of Crocodile
Island, by Henye Meyer. The description on Amazon says it is a story of a
community of children torn from their homes by the Inquisition and their
defiant struggle to keep their faith. The ISBN number is 0899067727.

 Michelle,

 I highly recommend a book called Atlas of Jewish History' by Martin
 Gilbert. Although it is set up as an Atlas there is a wealth of information
 on Jewish settlement, migration and movement. It is also a great way to
 teach map reading skills and children of all ages, especially 3rd and 4th
 graders love the interactive lesson of learning through reading these
 excellent maps.  I have used this book often which was recently reprinted.

 I have a request from a teacher to find materials on the 3rd-4th grade
 reading level about Jewish involvement in European exploration, Jewish life

 exploration of North and South America.  I would really appreciate any
 suggestions you may have for material as what I have thus far seen is of a
 higher reading/comprehension level.

I agree that although the Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean is an excellent
book the reading level and content is far more suitable to middle and high
school.  Although if you can hold of the following book, The Jewish
Traveler: Hadassah Magazine's Guide to the World's Jewish Communities ad
Sights  1994, edited by Alan M. Tigay you will find great info of Jews
across Europe and even current times information.

Michelle,

I highly recommend a book called Atlas of Jewish History' by Martin Gilbert. 
Although it is set up as an Atlas there is a wealth of information on Jewish 
settlement, migration and movement. It is also a great way to teach map reading 
skills and children of all ages, especially 3rd and 4th graders love the 
interactive lesson of learning through reading these excellent maps.  I have 
used this book often which was recently reprinted.  Chavah

Re: [ha-Safran] Resources on Jews during European Exploration

2015-08-24 Thread Lisa Silverman
Michelle,
I searched our catalog and did not find much on this for that age group. (There 
are various things about the Inquisition, but I am guessing you don't want 
that.)
Here are two:


1.   The Jews Settle in New Amsterdam
by Grand, Samuel

Story of the first Jews to settle in the U.S.



2.   The Other 1492 -- Jewish Settlement in the New World  (YA book, but 
can be read by 4th graders in excerpts)

Finkelstein, Norman H.

Describes the causes, events, and aftermath of the expulsion of the Jews from 
Spain in 1492.



Good luck!

Lisa
