Culham St Gabriel's Trust

We wanted to use Jewish Interactive material in order to promote the understanding of Judaism in schools throughout the UK. We worked closely with the Ji team in order to rework the educator guides and some of the products to tailor them for a non-Jewish setting. This project was developed with the support of Pears Foundation.

RE:ONLINE is the main provider of free, quality-assured online support for religious education in the United Kingdom, containing guidance for Religious Education leaders and thousands of practical resources for teachers.

‘Interact with Judaism’ is a collaboration between Jewish Interactive and RE:ONLINE. All the educator guides included below have been designed specifically for teachers and pupils in non-Jewish settings. Some of the product versions have also been adapted for this project.

Encouraging children to look for the good in other people and to see the good deeds that their friends and family are doing.
