EVERFI - BINAH: Building Insights to Navigate Anti-Semitism and Hate

EVERFI empowers educators to bring real-world learning into the classroom and equip students with the skills they need for success — now and in the future.

Overview

Binah, a word for “understanding” in Hebrew, is the goal of this course. The aim is to promote understanding among all high school students, regardless of the makeup of their school community. Designed to integrate into Social Studies, ELA, or SEL curriculum, it can be taught in conjunction with teaching about the Holocaust, or as an independent lesson. This course will help students understand the history and current reality of antisemitism in the U.S. and how it relates to other expressions of discrimination in order to build empathy, understanding and a more inclusive community.
