"In #Montana, #students across the state — from #Hutterite colonies to #NativeAmerican reservations — are learning about #Hanukkah in #school: playing #dreidel, lighting candles, and reading a picture #book that tells the true story of #Billings residents who united against #antisemitism.

That’s thanks to the Montana #Jewish Project, which is in its third year of distributing 50 “Hanukkah #curriculum boxes” to #publicschool #teachers around the state, many in rural areas with few to no Jewish students in their #classrooms. Teachers who sign up for the box receive it free of charge.

“A teacher at a school with a large #Mennonite population went out of her way to email us and say, Thank you so much. This resonated so much with my students,” said Rebecca Stanfel, executive director of the #MontanaJewishProject. “It makes a lot of sense, because the #lessonplan is really about accepting everyone in your classroom, whatever their #faith tradition.”
