My name is Aviva Edrich and I am the Teen Department Associate at the Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE).
Growing up I was very curious about the world around me. I would constantly ask my parents questions about Judaism or anything that popped into my mind. Their response to me would always be, “Why don’t you look it up?”
Social media is a great opportunity to learn more about the Jewish world, community, and news!
Open Dor Media creates and produces short educational and informational videos for you, your friends, or your family.
The next time you find yourself in a situation where a teen or young adult asks you a question about Judaism or Jewish news, you can either send them a video from @JewishUnpacked or direct them right to their TikTok or Instagram account.
Here are a few video topics you can find on their social media:
- Israel: a Refuge for Middle Eastern Jews
- Who are Mizrachi Jews?
- Information about all of the Jewish holidays!
Unpacked for Educators boasts a multitude of great online resources for teens and adults, including Jewish educational and informational videos, articles, and more.
CAJE and the Greater Miami Jewish Federation financially contribute to Unpacked for Educators, because it produces high-quality, relevant, and engaging films, podcasts, TikTok, Instagram posts, and more all about Judaism and Israel.
Over the next few weeks, CAJE will be exploring the resources that you can find on this amazing website for yourself and others.
