THE EDUCATION CENTER
"Beth Hatefutsoth's
programs have aimed at confronting the visitors with different viewpoints,
spanning the whole Jewish ideological and philosophical spectrum ... At
the same time, its educational efforts have always been marked by
tolerance and by a humanistic attitude to the problems of Jewish life and
history."
Yeshayahu Weinberg, Founding
Director of Beth Hatefutsoth
Hebrew Language Educational Programs for
Groups of Schoolchildren
The Education Center of Beth Hatefutsoth is proud to announce
that its Hebrew language educational programs for groups of schoolchildren can

highly successful programs are attended by many tens of thousands of
schoolchildren from schools and other educational institutions located all over
Israel and abroad. To ensure a convenient date for your schoolchildren's visit
to our museum, we highly suggest you to book your program of choice as soon as
possible. The staff of museum’s Reservation and Information Center will happily
assist you with all necessary information. Please do not hesitate to

During the 2005-2006 season Beth Hatefutsoth will again offer
training courses for teachers. Details of the courses, which are also open to
the general public , are now available
online. To guarantee you a place in your preferred course, we warmly
advise you to register as soon as possible.
Are we really one?
is a new experiential program developed by Beth
Hatefutsoth's Education Center specifically for youth visiting Israel for the
first time as part of the Birthright Program. To date, 3,000 out of the 5,000
Birthright youth in Israel have begun to examine the multi-cultural expressions
among the Jewish people and the mosaic of the many different people they will
encounter in Israel. The Museum visit opened the students' minds and hearts to
continue their quest for shaping and sharing our belonging to one people, across
the oceans and divides.
The Information and
Reservation Center provides information about the different
educational programs and the variety of guided tours available for children,
youngsters, adults and families. For further information about the Education

The Education
Center of Beth Hatefutsoth is proud to present
"ROOTS AND
ME", a new concept in Jewish Education, designed for
the home, the youth group, the family and the classroom.
"ROOTS AND ME" was developed by
the staff of the Museum's Education Center and enables Jewish
youngsters to learn more about their family history, their community
and to discover their place amongst the Jewish people. The project
includes the booklet "r u rachel?", which serves as
trigger for people to open the special website, designed as a virtual
club containing various interactive activities. |
|
Some time ago, an Educator's Guide
"r u a teacher?" and a special website for educators were
introduced. The Guide and the website include ideas about how
to use "ROOTS AND ME", and the
intention is to constantly introduce new ideas by Jewish educators from all
over the world.
People wanting more information
about "ROOTS AND ME" may contact Mr. Marc Kurs, Project Director, at
bhsemarc@post.tau.ac.il. |
