What Unpacked Educators Say

"Unpacked's resources provide avenues to explore, study and develop that relationship without forcing one perspective over another. What I am most impressed with is that the materials are free from political bias and religious dogma. They really are the best of Judaism and Israel education."
Lisa Sandler
Educator, Temple Kol Emeth Religious School, Marietta, GA.
"Seemingly overnight, the History of Israel Explained video series has become a staple of our 12th grade, year-long Israel seminar."
Neil Rubin, Ph.D.
Chair, Department of Jewish History Beth Tfiloh Dahan High School Baltimore, Md.
"Unpacked for Educators videos have been invaluable in our integrated World and Jewish History classes as a way to initiate nuanced conversations and facilitate discussions about connections between the past and present."
Chani Rotenberg
History Department Chair, Ma'ayanot Yeshiva High School, Teaneck, NJ
"Unpacked is indispensable in my Modern Jewish History classroom. Their videos expertly balance scholarly insight with a conversational tone, maintaining high production value and a fast-paced tempo that keeps students engaged. Unpacked has become a trusted, go-to resource for both me and my students, empowering us to think critically, ask insightful questions, and explore Judaism, Zionism, and Israel with depth and nuance."
Bernadette May-Beaver
Social Studies Teacher, Director, The Michael Kay Israel Leadership Fellows, The Weber School (Atlanta)
The Unpacked for Educators curriculum gives our students the opportunity to engage and learn about their roots, so they can feel more proud and empowered to be a religious Zionist Jew!

"Having a resource which is accessible, engaging and relevant to our curriculum and our students' lives is an incredible boon to me, our teachers and our students. Knowing that it is relatively objective as can be in such a highly polarized world is such a relief in these ideologically fraught times."
Ilan Bloch
Director of Jewish Life and Learning, King David School, Melbourne, Australia
