Series 3: What’s Next? Teen Education @ Hebrew High School 

In Kulam, we provide our teens a safe space to engage in dynamic and authentic conversations. This way, teens can think reflectively, act courageously, and develop healthy, honest relationships.  

Kulam is a series of 1-hour, experiential, curricular sessions designed for Jewish educators to use in a regular Hebrew High setting. In this program, Jewish teens in 8th-10th grades ask big questions about where, why, and how they belong–all while exploring issues of identity, equity, and justice.  Discussions span perspectives from “Me,” to “My Family/Relationships,” to “My Community.” 

Join Moving Traditions to learn more about what the research says about teens today, how to help teens develop the social/emotional skills they need, and how you can use Kulam as a cornerstone of your Hebrew High School next year.
