Unit IV: Israel in Focus
Like the rest of the Jewish Lens curriculum, Unit IV, “Israel in Focus,” is built on a joint foundation of visual and textual literacy. Each lesson combines an exploration of Jewish text and photographic images to examine a different aspect of Israel – its history, geography, culture, and meaning to Jewish communities around the world. It also includes numerous opportunities for student expression through photography and other modalities.
