Letting Go of Hate
A four-unit Key Stage 4 curriculum on the dangers of antisemitism through the approach of Rabbi Sacks
Within living memory of the Holocaust, after which the world vowed “never again,” antisemitism has returned. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks offers a unique approach for students to understand why antisemitism is a danger for every single member of British society.
The Rabbi Sacks Legacy (RSL) is proud to present this new PSHE curriculum, designed to provide a comprehensive framework for educating students about the historical and contemporary aspects of antisemitism through the prism of Rabbi Sacks’ unique approach.
In this four part series of lessons, students will explore:
- What is antisemitism?
- The stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination that Jewish people face
- The evolution of antisemitism and how it affects Jewish people today
- How antisemitism may affect them and how to combat it
The curriculum aims to enrich students’ understanding of moral responsibility and create a deep appreciation of social diversity, and meets Ofsted’s requirements to promote SMSC (spiritual, moral, social, and cultural) development and fundamental British values.
Designed for teachers by teachers, the RSL PSHE curriculum comes complete with all the resources needed for seamless implementation.
