  • A Golem on the Playground: a Survey of the Golem Figure in American Jewish Children's Literature
    A Golem on the Playground: A Survey of the Golem Figure in American Jewish Children's Literature Master's Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Professors Ellen Kellman and Jonathan D. Sarna, Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master's Degree By Mary L. Horrocks May, 2012 Copyright by Mary L. Horrocks © 2012 For my family and friends (both two- and four-legged), who have let my mind wander to playgrounds everywhere. iii Abstract A Golem on the Playground: A Survey of the Golem Figure in American Jewish Children's Literature A thesis presented to the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Mary L. Horrocks Jewish children's literature has become an important method for developing Jewish American identity in recent decades. A Jewish children's book, when carefully selected for the right child at the right moment, has the potential to equip the child to claim his or her own Jewishness and position within a larger community, rich with history and meaning. When the golem figure is at the helm of a children's book, I have found this potential can sway perilously on his broad shoulders. American Jewish children's literature has offered a plethora of diverse golem adaptations. Based on research into the world of children's literature and Jewish identity development, interviews with children's book authors and illustrators, and a survey of nearly forty American children's books and comic books, I have sorted representations of the golem figure into four distinct categories.

  • Jewish Studies Policy 2020 /5781
    Sinai Jewish Primary School Jewish Studies Policy 2020 /5781 Principles and Aims As a United Synagogue school that embraces both orthodoxy and modernity, we seek to provide a formal and informal Jewish education that blends an authentic, immersive and enriching experience with a sensitive understanding of the wider culture in which our pupils live. We aim to nurture children who are committed to and involved in Jewish practice, ethics and traditions and to immerse them in our Jewish beliefs and values so they are motivated as lifelong Jewish learners. We aspire to develop confident Hebrew readers who acquire knowledge and textual skills through the study of selected classical texts. Our purpose is to create responsible Jewish citizens, who play an active role in the Jewish and wider community and who take pride in their commitment to Israel. Statement on Jewish Personal and Spiritual Development All schools that follow the National Curriculum will be able to provide opportunities for pupils to grow personally and spiritually. A Jewish school will provide a particular context for this growth through the wisdom and tenets of Judaism. Sinai pupils recite Tefillah every day. The singing is uplifting; the discussions are appropriately spiritual, personal and relevant. Over time and in a natural way, pupils discover the value of making a daily connection to God. Weekly Parashah lessons include an age appropriate middah that emerges from the storyline. Pupils are inspired by the actions of biblical personalities and learn about the relationship they had with G-d. Using this as the reference point, pupils learn to engage in self-reflection, discover the value of sharing with others their understanding of their own life experiences and start to forge their own relationship with God.

    Nitzotzot Min HaNer Volume #12 May - June 2003 -- Page # 1 NNiittzzoottzzoott MMiinn HHaaNNeerr VVoolluummee # 12, May - June 2003 In this month’s Nitzotzot, we continue a listing of resources that would be useful to other outreach organizations. A lot of this information was volunteered in response to the last edition. We thank those who took the effort to provide this information and be mezakeh the Klal in this way. We would like to stress that this is not intended as a comprehensive listing of Kiruv organizations. Only those organizations which have resources directly available to other organizations were included. The list is by no means exhaustive and we certainly did not intend any evaluative innuendoes by the selection of those we included and excluded. In general, we restricted our list to resources located in the USA or serving the USA. In addition, the organizations we did mention were described with an emphasis to their utility value to other organizations rather than a comprehensive description of their activities. There are many local organizations which have programs and other things of value to contribute. Generally, these were left out. We were certainly not able to include all resources here, nor even make an appropriate prioritization. We apologize for all the omissions. If you were left out, please understand and, in case we were not aware of you, please do tell us about yourself and what you have to offer. We will attempt to include some of this information in a subsequent edition.
