The RE Judaism Hub

(JCoB Education)

specialist RE Judaism workshops and assemblies tailored to your needs

support and advice for teachers

At the RE Judaism Hub, we are experts in the Jewish element of the RE syllabus. Rabbi Zvi and Rebbetzin Shira wrote most of the Judaism section of the approved RE syllabus as members of four of the six SACREs in Berkshire and have been teaching children in Reading and the area about Jewish life at home and in the synagogue for many years.

So what can we do for you?

We have visited hundreds of schools in person in a wide area around Reading, from Gloucestershire to West London, and from Portsmouth to Luton. Virtually, we have visited schools as far afield as Liverpool and Newcastle and Wales (anywhere in the UK). We have reached some 100,000 children, and we have many satisfied customers.

We offer assemblies, a synagogue workshop where we set your school classroom up as a synagogue, and workshops on Shabbat, Sukkot, Passover (Pesach), Chanukah, Jewish life, or any other topic related to Judaism, as well as teacher training sessions. Click here for more information.

We come to you (whether in person or virtually), saving you time and money on travel. Your children get to meet a real Orthodox rabbi or a Rabbi’s wife who is also a full time RE professional. Our materials are modern and we cater for any age group. Click here for our table of rates. We bring artefacts for the children to examine, and in the case of virtual visits, we can send these by post in advance.

Since 2016, we have operated as JCoB Education Ltd, connected with the community we lead (JCoB Shul). We are now launching a UK-wide RE Judaism service, under our new trading name, the RE Judaism Hub and our new domain REJudaism.org. Already, this includes a Substack page and podcast, to keep teachers informed on best practice in creating authentic learning experiences.

As part of our new project, we plan to produce video lessons that can be used in the classroom. If you have a topic you want included in that video library and want to partner with us, please be in touch. We want this library to be customised to the real needs of schools, classroom time constraints, topics etc. We will provide discounted / free access to schools who partner with us on this project.
