Educators from Kurdish Iraq visit The Temple

The World Affairs Council hosted a delegation of educators from Kurdish Iraq. Since their project was titled, “Religious and Public Education Curriculum Development in the U.S”  they visited several sites in Louisville to explore curriculum development and ‘after/out-of-school’ methodologies for religious education.  They met with Sarah Harlan, Principle, and Rabbi David to learn more about our Religious School and Judaism.
