Strange Tales from the Torah - or - They never taught me that before in Hebrew School
Framed in a Superhero, supernatural, or fantasy motif, the Strange Tales from the Torah curriculum deals with actual Torah texts, linked in theme or motif to culturally relevant modalities. The methodology, best for middle school students, includes the use of videos, interactive materials, visual examination of the texts, manipulative activities, and creative writing/graphics. Despite the playful presentation, the material is pedagogically sound and results in increased interest in looking more closely at the Hebrew texts, exploring Torah tales often overlooked, and recognizing the Torah as a text worthy of further study.
