J·Hub

An Institute for K–12 Jewish Resources

J·Hub’s mission is to promote inclusive learning environments for Jewish and all students in public and private K–12 education ecosystems across Wisconsin through professional development, lesson plans, field trips, in-class experiences, and consultative services that educate about Jewish identity, history, and culture, as well as antisemitism.

Student to Student presenters demonstrate the Jewish wedding tradition of a chuppah to local middle school students.

J·Hub partners with Wisconsin’s public, charter, and private schools to incorporate teaching about Jewish history, culture, heritage, and identity through the existing Wisconsin Academic Standards. Whether you are a language arts educator teaching a novel with Jewish characters or a social studies teacher exploring ancient civilizations or American immigration, we can help you plan and teach with accuracy and care. Our resources respect teachers’ time and build on the great work you are already doing, helping you create learning spaces where students of all backgrounds feel included and welcome.

Educators tour Jewish Museum Milwaukee with the Executive Director of the Holocaust Education Resource Center, Samantha Abramson, as part of a professional development workshop.

Reported acts of antisemitism – hatred directed towards Jews – have increased by over 923% in Wisconsin since 2015, mirroring national and global trends. Jewish students in public schools report feeling unsupported in public school environments and are afraid to bring their concerns to teachers and administrators. J·Hub partners with district superintendents, principals, and leaders statewide to provide a framework for integrating Jewish identity into existing school inclusion policies and to lead professional development on how to define, recognize, report, and respond to antisemitism so that all students can thrive. 

Please note: Our consultation services and resources are available at no cost to Wisconsin schools, and sensitive conversations are always kept confidential.

What an amazing day! The displays are outstanding, the printed work with each artifact was wonderfully written, and the experience was truly enriching.

This was a very thoughtful and intentional presentation… They were engaging, informative, and warm… My students asked a lot of questions, and we had really positive conversations afterwards.

Watching the kids’ faces as my group shares our traditions and history is so special because they are truly interested in learning about our culture. Student to Student has become a platform where I am able to express who I am without shying away.

[The best part was] the personalization of the Holocaust… it is no longer an event in a book!

a high school teacher

It is really powerful to hear from other teenagers about their personal experiences… and…from a diverse group of students, as it demonstrates that Judaism is not a monolith.

I now understand how imperative it is to stress the lives of Jewish people before the Holocaust so students understand what was lost and preserved.
