Educational Resources
It is JDC's mandate to provide the professional guidance, technical assistance, leadership training, resources and other support necessary for local Jewish communities in regions where we operate, in order to ensure the sustainability of Jewish life wherever Jews remain. This commitment is based on the concept of "Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh B'Zeh" — All Israel is Responsible One for the Other.
Just Like Henry
"Just Like Henry", is a new education resource, developed by the JDC, to teach the true meaning of "Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh B'Zeh" to children and youth. The program demonstrates how to put this principle into action by showing Jewish needs around the world today, and gives opportunities and suggestions for personal involvement to help the needs outlined — furthering the student's internalization of the lesson."Just Like Henry" is a stand alone education piece that can be used in supplementary schools, day schools, youth groups, camp and community wide settings. It is also perfect for the home. The suggested activities can be adopted by an entire school, class, a small number of students, or even an individual.
