The Rabbi Sacks Legacy

👩‍🏫 Jewish Studies teachers have always faced a blank page. AI is changing that.

Unlike Maths or English, Jewish Studies teachers have rarely had ready-made schemes of work, structured resources, or national curriculum frameworks to lean on. You might simply be told: "Teach Pesach."

AI won't replace professional judgement — but can remove the paralysis of starting from nothing. Our latest piece shares 7 practical ways Jewish Studies teachers are already using AI in their classrooms, from generating keyword glossaries and comparison tables between commentators, to prompting AI to role-play Avraham so students can interrogate a source directly.

AI hasn't reduced workload the way we expected. But used carefully, it frees teachers to do what matters most: helping students think.
