Just FYI. Below are some Weblinks on general Jewish and American Jewish history that I pulled together in response to a query on the LookJed list. Not comprehensive, but I thought they may be of interest to Inter-Jed folks also. I’m not familiar with them in depth, but the PBS site has lesson plans with background, questions, and project suggestions.
Shavua tov,
