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.

Ji Connect - Lecha Dodi

Ji Connect celebrates the diversity of the Jewish people, connecting Jews around the world. Users tap people at the Western Wall in Jerusalem and are transported to their countries to look at their synagogues, history and customs. They hear how they welcome the Shabbat in that country, and how they sing the song ‘Lecha Dodi’. It is a tool to encourage pride in identity, tolerance, and to celebrate cultural similarities and differences.
