Jewish Story of Creation
Engage your students with the captivating Jewish account of the origins of the universe and life on Earth, as beautifully depicted in retelling of the biblical story of Creation.
The Story of Creation is the foundational narrative in the Torah (first five books of the Hebrew Bible) that describes God’s formation of the heavens, Earth, and all living things over a period of six days, followed by a seventh day of rest and blessing. This powerful cosmological story establishes core Jewish beliefs about the divine source of all existence and the sanctity of the seventh day of the week.
The story portrays God methodically creating light, sky, land, vegetation, celestial bodies, aquatic creatures, animals, and ultimately human beings - fashioned in God’s own image and given stewardship over the Earth. Despite its ancient roots, the creation story remains a seminal text exploring timeless concepts of the universe’s beginnings, humanity’s place in the world, and our sacred responsibility as ethical caretakers.

Joseph & His Brothers Jewish Story
Immerse your students in one of the most powerful and transformative stories in Jewish history!
Joseph and His Brothers is the biblical account of Joseph, one of Jacob’s twelve sons, who was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers but rose to become a powerful leader in Egypt. Though favored by his father, Joseph faced hardship and betrayal when his brothers stripped him of his special coat and threw him into a pit, eventually selling him to passing merchants.
Taken to Egypt, Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams led him to the court of Pharaoh, where he became a trusted advisor and governor, responsible for preparing the nation for a prophesied famine. When Joseph’s brothers later came to Egypt to buy food, he tested them to see if they had changed before revealing his identity and forgiving them.
The story of Joseph and His Brothers is a seminal event in Jewish history recounted in the Hebrew Bible as a testament to faith, forgiveness, and divine providence. Despite humble beginnings and tumultuous trials, Joseph’s life was guided by God’s plan, leading him to a position of power where he could ultimately save his family.

Moses & Exodus of Egypt
This reading activity resource explores the seminal story of the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt in the 13th century BCE, under the leadership of Moses.
This defining event laid the foundations for the development of Judaism and the Jewish people’s national identity. After enduring oppression and harsh labor under an unbending Pharaoh, God unleashed ten devastating plagues upon Egypt. When the final plague killed all firstborn sons, Pharaoh finally relented and expelled the Israelites. However, he soon regretted this decision and pursued them with his army. Through divine intervention, the Israelites crossed the parted Red Sea to escape, while the Egyptian forces drowned.
The Israelites then wandered the wilderness for forty years, ceremonially receiving the Ten Commandments from God at Mount Sinai. This code of laws and ethics bounded their covenant as God’s chosen people destined for the Promised Land of Canaan after tribulations tested their faith.
The Exodus story is told in the Hebrew Bible’s books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and is commemorated in the Jewish holiday of Passover.
