For several months, students and educators alike have been acclimating to a new reality—at home, and in the world of Jewish education, too. While this is an extremely challenging time, here at The Covenant Foundation we have also been awed by the extreme productivity and creativity of our colleagues, grantees, award recipients and friends. In an effort to highlight all of the excellent work that has been produced with distance learning in mind, we have collected several searchable resources on this page.
We hope this collection will serve as a source of inspiration to teachers, students and anyone who seeks to deepen their learning and connection to Judaism, despite the screens that currently separate us.
