Teaching Judaism in the classroom with sensitivity I'm changing positions in my school and will now be teaching 6th grade (11-12 year olds) world history, which includes teaching the major world religions.



I plan on having cultural pieces for kids to see of the different religions we learn about, like holy books or other items. I want to make sure to keep utmost respect and sanctity for all of the pieces I collect for this, so I am wondering if there are any items that I should avoid getting or require special treatment.

I guess on top of this, I'm also looking for any suggestions of common Jewish religious items that would be worth having/sharing as I teach about the history and culture of Judaism. Any help or advice would be appreciated so I can make a great (and respectful) learning experience for my students!
