Educational Materials

Let KOACH enhance your Jewish life calendar with our monthly education packets.

This is just one of the myriad of ways that KOACH helps augment your on-campus programming. These packets are designed to be adjustable for available time and student background. They can be utilized for lunch and learns, Shabbat learning, round-table conversations, and more. Packets include text sheets (Hebrew, transliteration, and English), background information, session leader materials and other related resources. It is our hope that these materials will encourage conversations about the materials and their relevance to students’ lives.

New packets will be added frequently. (Join our e-list to be informed as new material is added.)
