Services
Designed to compliment both the Queensland Catholic and State Education Curricula, Abramson Educational Consulting offers specialist talks for school students on Judaism, Jewish history and rituals.
Abramson Educational Consulting’s purpose is to provide real-life input for Catholic, Christian and State School students who are learning about what it means to be Jewish. Aimed at building bridges between faiths, Abramson Educational Consulting provides accurate information, dispels some myths and creates a forum for open discussion.
Topics which are typically covered are Jewish history and the historical figures who play important roles in Jewish culture; festivals and life cycle events; rituals in prayer; ethics and what it is like to lead a Jewish life-style in Australia today. As there is a broad range of Jewish sects, the talks aim to take a general overview of Judaism without favouring the views of any particular sect.
