A Journey to the Story of Exodus
Students: Have you ever been to Egypt? Would a visit to ancient Egypt be interesting to you?
Teachers: Would you like to be able to take your students on a short trip to ancient Egypt? A trip that will enrich your teaching experience when sharing the Exodus story with your students?
Today, Herzog Tanakh, in collaboration with UnitED, can make this possible.
In just an hour you can dive into ancient Egypt, tour its ancient temples, participate in the construction of its pyramids, learn to read hieroglyphics, and, most importantly, join the Israelites on their journey from the land of Goshen to the Sinai Desert.
This innovative, fascinating journey will enrich your knowledge and your love for the stories of the Tanakh.
