BimBam Talmud Curriculum

This course guide is based on episodes produced by  independent artists for Studio G-dcast. Each part of the course guide is designed to introduce students, ages 15 and older, to a story from the Talmud and encourages students to reflect on the relationship between the Talmud story and the artists’ retelling of that story in film.

Recommended for students in grades 9-12
