Get ready to spread some serious cultural appreciation! Join ICS for a high-energy JAHM Session, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM). We know you’re juggling a million things, so we’re providing everything you need to make JAHM a sweet addition to your May curriculum. 

What’s on the Menu?

  • Wait, Why Heritage Months?: A quick dive into why heritage months are essential for a sense of belonging and historical accuracy.
  • Spreading Understanding: The main dish—our “Condensed JAHM Content.” We use the complexity of the Jewish American experience (as both an ethnicity and a religion) to provide you with a master toolkit for discussing any complex identity group. Learn how to facilitate nuanced conversations using primary sources and demographic data that highlight both visible and invisible attributes.
  • The ICS “JAHM-Sized” Mini Lessons: Get exclusive access to ICS’s 7 bite-sized lessons. They’re perfectly portioned to sprinkle into your schedule all May long, making classroom celebration easy.

The Grand Finale: A Sweet Celebration
We believe every great celebration is made better with gifts! To honor 20 years of JAHM, we want to present you with a little something sweet to thank you for your time spent learning with us and sharing your feedback. Complete the session evaluation and receive a $50 Amazon gift card! (NOTE: Gift cards are intended for current educators/educational leaders. Only one gift card will be issued per person, and you must use your school or educational organization email to register.)
