*Sacred Texts, Modern Questions: Connecting Ethics and History Through a Jewish Lens *is a resource designed specifically for educators in a Jewish setting. This five unit collection of lessons explores sacred texts of the past and the questions that shape our present. It makes connections between instances of moral courage in Pharaoh's Egypt, struggles of conscience and faith in Hitler's Europe, and readings from today's influential thinkers. Our goal is to integrate original Facing History resources with biblical, rabbinic, and contemporary Jewish sources. With more than 30 readings, pages of full-color artwork, and a variety of classroom strategies, activities, and questions, *Sacred Texts *provides opportunities for teachers of both Judaic and general studies to integrate learning and encourages interdisciplinary conversations.
