Using Waldorf Education Resources, journey with the Ancient Israelites. Begin with Abraham's decision to leave the Mesopotamian city of Ur, pass through the Hebrew period of slavery in Egypt and continue with their release from bondage to seek out a home in Canaan.

Meet the great kings, Saul, David and Solomon, and the judges, prophets and priests who followed. Learn of the Israelites' relationship with the Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and finally the Romans. All this comes to life through stories, dramas, and hands on activities. Learning occurs through lessons that are both social studies and language arts orientated, and which also include material from other areas of the curriculum.
