Expressing Diversity in Jewish Identity: Blending In and Standing Out
This two-day lesson uses the story of Purim as a frame to examine how Jews have preserved and protected their identities and culture in dominant societies by choosing when to blend in and when to stand out.
Students use the ideas of W.E.B Du Bois and historian David Kennedy to explore their own Jewish identities and consider how they coexist with their identities as Americans.
Students consider how the debate around the Wagner-Rogers Bill reflected competing ideas in the United States about national identity, priorities, and values.
Students learn about the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers’ strike and reflect on the relationship between identity, dignity, and community membership.
Students explore ways that young people experience and stand up to antisemitism by examining recent research and exploring stories of young upstanders.
