Do Jewish religious day schools/yeshivot include any formal instruction
in their curricula about non-Jewish minorities?
The Ramaz Upper School in New York has a senior elective on
African-American history, while the Beth Tfiloh School in Baltimore has
had an unusual collaborative course in African-American and Jewish
American history that involves both Jewish and non-Jewish (from a
neighborhood public high school) students. The comparable theme in Israeli
religious schools would be on Arabic history and culture.
