Interfaith – Assimilation
Our Teachers Resource Guide will have questions for the class to respond to. For example: What speaks to you? Do you prefer Israeli pop or American music? Is it hard to overcome Language? Are their cultural barriers?

Below are some examples of what students created in previous workshops
