Lunch & Learn: Rashi’s Interdisciplinary Civil Rights Unit

by | Mar 26, 2026 | Learning, Middle School

We’re thrilled to present a Prizmah Lunch and Learn, featuring two outstanding members of Rashi’s Middle School faculty. Hear directly from Jewish studies teacher Helen Ressler, and social studies teacher Scott Harrison about their innovative, interdisciplinary civil rights curriculum. Integrated learning — connecting Jewish studies and values with secular academics — is a hallmark of the Rashi educational experience. Through curricula like Helen and Scott’s, students connect to history, their heritage, and the world with critical eyes and open minds, setting them up for success within Rashi and beyond.
