Hanukkah: Ignite and Inspire - Online Learning Program for Jewish Educators

This program provides a new take on Hanukkah that goes beyond the Maccabees and lighting the candles. We explore what it means to be a hero by learning about Jewish heroines like Judith, Clara Lemlich Shavelson, and Judy Frieze Wright. JWA’s Education Program Manager, Etta King, models resources and activities that you can immediately use in your educational setting so you can celebrate Hanukkah in a new way.
