Bringing Tanakh and Jewish History to Life \u2014 For Your School<\/strong><\/h1><\/div>

In a world of shrinking attention spans and easy misinformation, teaching Tanakh and Jewish history is harder than ever. Students scroll past. They tune out. They don’t see why it matters.

But when they stand in front of a 2,700-year-old Assyrian relief and realize it depicts the same empire that exiled the Ten Tribes \u2014 something shifts. Suddenly the text isn’t abstract. It’s real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Nachliel Selavan, “The Museum Guy.” For the past ten years, I’ve guided thousands of students through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, and dozens of other collections worldwide. I use artifacts, maps, archaeology, and storytelling to help students see Jewish history as part of the larger human story \u2014 and to understand Tanakh more deeply because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy students at first were not keen on the idea of a tour and really just wanted to hang out in NYC. Nachliel was able to engage them so well that they enjoyed the tour and learned so much from the experience that it built vast discussion over Shabbat over what we had seen and its relevance to Tanach.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I saw that Nachliel was coming to NY for a week, I knew I had to grab a slot for my middle schoolers to visit the Met with him!<\/em> …Nachliel really brought the temples, the statues, the heiroglyphics, etc. to life for my students – and for the rest of the unit learning that we did in class, they kept referring back to things he said at the museum. Highly recommend for school groups (and really for everyone!).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t get to a museum? I’ll come to you.<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I offer in-school presentations and live virtual programs that bring the same approach into your classroom \u2014 no bus required. Using primary sources, archaeological images, and interactive tools like Google Earth, I tailor each session to your curriculum and grade level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
