Origins 4,000 years ago, the meaning of monotheism, global Jewish communities (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Ethiopian, Indian), holidays, traditions, and the concept of diaspora.
Rise of Nazi Germany, the systematic murder of six million Jews, the role of bystanders and rescuers, and the enduring responsibility to remember and speak out.
2,000 years of antisemitism — from ancient scapegoating and medieval blood libels to racial pseudo-science and the new political antisemitism of the modern era.
The biblical covenant with Abraham, exile and 2,000 years of diaspora, three Abrahamic faiths connected to one land, and the reestablishment of the Jewish state in 1948.

Screen the corresponding Noa Tishby video from the What Is… series on YouTube, then run the lesson activities with your class.
Noa Tishby is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, Israel's former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization, and the Founder and CEO of Eighteen — a nonprofit dedicated to fighting antisemitism, defending Israel, and inspiring Jewish pride through media, events, and education.
After becoming a household name in Israeli entertainment and making history as the producer who brought the Israeli TV series In Treatment to HBO, Tishby has spent the past decade becoming one of the most recognized voices in Jewish advocacy and education. Her books Israel: A Simple Guide and Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew are essential reading on these subjects.
