TOLI Wisconsin Teacher Network

Friday morning, we met Roberta Clark, the Executive Director of the Milwaukee Jewish Community Relations Council, who spoke about modern antisemitism and how to combat it.

Our seminar ended with Shabbat service at Congregation Shalom. We were honored to be asked to open the Torah ark during the service. Afterwards, Rabbi Noah showed us the Torah and answered questions.

The Illinois Holocaust Museum and a visit with Holocaust survivor Ida Paluch Kersz. So much to learn!

TOLI Wisconsin went to the Milwaukee Public Market and Landmark Lanes Tuesday.

The TOLI Wisconsin Seminar is off to a great start! We spent Sunday at Congregation Shalom learning from Alanna Koritzinsky about Judaism and the Jewish community. Monday, Samantha Abramson came to tell us about HERC. We were honored to hear from Eva Zaret, Holocaust survivor! Today, Molly Dubin came to discuss the Jewish community’s role in the Civil Rights movement. We have also heard from Scott and Amber about life before the Holocaust, engaged with the Holocaust timeline activity, and facilitated rich conversations about the Holocaust and civil rights.

There are still seats available for teachers at the Wisconsin seminar. High quality professional development opportunity for teachers that will assist you in meeting the Wisconsin Holocaust education mandate and provide you with a unique and effective pedagogy model for your classroom. In addition, you'll receive a wealth of resources and it's all FREE!

“It was the best professional development I’ve ever had in 23 years of teaching. It unfolded all kinds of other opportunities that I never dreamed possible. The TOLI seminar has made me more committed to teaching the Holocaust and to asking the hard questions.” - Scott Lone, 2014 NYC Seminar Participant
