Tanakh Is Our Story
Do your students view the Tanakh as a story that they can identify with? Are you interested in making Tanakh lessons more relevant to your students’ Jewish identity?
This dynamic curriculum, created by Herzog Global and UnitED, is designed to introduce Middle School students in Jewish schools around the world to concepts of Jewish identity through familiarity with our national story. It offers a unique active learning approach to teaching the Tanakh, by connecting to the foundations and heritage of the Jewish Nation.
“If we want our children and our society to be moral, we need a collective story that tells us where we came from and what our task is in the world.”
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt”l,
Covenant & Conversation, Parshat Bo
The Exodus from Egypt
– the Rise of a New Nation
This program uses cutting-edge pedagogical techniques around storytelling to bring the Exodus story to life for students in Grades 5 – 9, and it can be easily adapted for younger and older students.
The website includes six Stories based on the Exodus journey, each containing several Units on different topics, with multiple activities and student worksheets for different ages and abilities.
We invite you to explore the website and download the materials covering the first 16 chapters of Sefer Shemot, with stimulating ideas that all Judaic Studies teachers can use when teaching Shemot or preparing students for Pesach.

TESTIMONIAL
Keren Munnell from the King David High School in Johannesburg wrote: “We have absolutely loved the Herzog material. We used it with our Grade 8 group and the feedback from the students has been very positive. They have enjoyed that the content is student-centred and that there is a wide variety of activities for them to do. The students can really engage with the story and familiarise themselves with the characters and lessons. Working with Sharon has been so valuable and helpful. She has been so patient and has given me such great ideas to implement in my classroom.”
