Object Details
- Description
- Many resisted assimilation efforts made by public education by sending their children to private schools to maintain their religious beliefs, cultural heritage, and language. Jewish day schools and more formal yeshivas provided faith-based lessons, Judaic rituals, and Hebrew language instruction for students in the Jewish community.
- Rebekah J. Kohn’s Pupils Workbook for The First Lesson, written in Hebrew, contained illustrations, important lessons about the Jewish religion, and history. Information was presented in a format that preserved language and cultural traditions for daily usage. The workbook was published in 1954 by the United Synagogue Commission on Jewish Education. It was used by students at Prozdor High School at Hebrew College, outside Boston, Massachusetts.
