Special Events for Educators

The Center for Jewish History is home to five partner organizations: the American Jewish Historical Society(AJHS), the American Sephardi Federation (ASF), the Leo Baeck Institute for the Study of German-Jewish History and Culture (LBI), the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (YIVO), and the Yeshiva University Museum (YUM).

Explore the free educational resources and lesson plans for secondary school teachers about topics of more than three thousand years of Jewish history, culture, and heritage, along with recommendations by New York State agencies and national Jewish organizations.

Each school year, the Center offers various teacher trainings (for CTLE credits), both online and in person, together with its partner organizations and external partners.

No further teacher training courses will be offered in the 2025-26 school year.

We hope you will visit our website again when the 2026-27 school year begins in September for updates on future professional development opportunities.
