Educational Resources

For over twenty years, PANIM has been an innovator of rich educational resources on Jewish perspectives on contemporary issues. Our ground-breaking Curricula, Issue Guides, and Educator Trainings have been recognized across the Jewish Educational field as vital resources for teaching teens about Jewish values, service, and activism.

Just: Judaism. Action. Social Change.

Just is not just a book, not just a curriculum, not just a resource guide, and not just a “how to” manual for implementing social justice initiatives. What we present in this ground-breaking curriculum is a set of textual resources, discussion questions, and planning exercises related to social action and community service.

Poverty in America

This four page issue guide serves as an overview of poverty in America, including vital statistics and perspectives as well as Jewish teachings, values, and texts on our responsibilities to the poor.

Jewish Values Matrix

One of PANIM’s most widely-used resources among educators, the Jewish Values Matrix is a unique list of 38 Jewish values which provides a systematic approach to value decision-making related to contemporary issues.
