Teaching About Terrorism
Since September 11th, the world's focus has been on the horrible terrorist attacks on the US and its aftershocks. As Jewish educators, we need to put the events of September 11 in a specific Jewish framework and Jewish perspective. Following are excerpts from CAJE's recent curricular publication entitled Teaching About Terrorism as well as links to web resources dealing with September 11th and with Israel.
