Start with the parent guide. 11–12 pages, written for you, not for teachers. Includes 1-day and week-long lesson plans, Hebrew pronunciation help, and a FAQ.
Display the English or Hebrew deck on any screen. Speaker notes give you a 3–6 sentence script per slide. Print the worksheets. Lesson lasts 30 minutes to a half-day, your call.
No. Every Hebrew word is transliterated; every speaker note is in English. Each pack's parent guide has a Hebrew pronunciation cheat sheet for the words your child will meet. You can teach the entire pack without reading a single Hebrew letter — though by the end your child will recognize many.
Early elementary — K–3, ages 5–9 — calibrated for 1st–2nd grade. Younger siblings can listen along; older siblings (8–10) can use the worksheets and go deeper into the speaker notes.
It's a warm traditional pack — using traditional sources and vocabulary (Hashem, Beit HaMikdash, brachot with full nikud) while staying accessible across the observance spectrum. We don't take positions on disputed practices.
Each pack is a digital download on Etsy. Click any pack above to see what's inside, then click through to its Etsy listing to buy.
The license is single-family. If you teach a co-op, please have each family purchase their own copy — it keeps prices fair.
You're welcome here. The packs are written assuming Jewish family context, but a non-Jewish family teaching about Judaism (or a Jewish family who married in) will find them clear and respectful.
Pesach, Sukkot, and Purim are next. Drop your email and we'll send a launch discount the moment each one is ready. We send rarely — only when there's actually something new.
