How to Get Holocaust Education Right
Over 80 years since the Holocaust decimated European Jewry, educating our students about it has never been more important. But how should we teach about it? Is it about guilt? Mortality? Memory and history? Beyond that, how do we speak about Hashem and Yiddeshkeit in the shadow of the Shoah?<br /><br />Rabbis Ari Schwarzberg and Yagil Tsaidi discuss Shalhevet's annual Senior Poland-Israel Experience — which begins with Europe's shetls, ghettos, and concentration camps, and ends at the Kotel in Jerusalem — and why setting an "agenda" is the wrong move.<br />
