About
Behrman House is a century-old Jewish educational publisher and produces the CHAI Curriculum, a graded religious-school program built on three strands: Torah (study), Avodah (worship), and G'milut Chasadim (acts of loving-kindness). Each core level contains twenty-seven one-hour scripted lessons plus family education lessons, structured through backward design. The curriculum is used by congregational schools across the Reform and Conservative movements and by homeschooling families through Behrman House's dedicated tutor and homeschool storefront. Other Behrman House programs used in homeschools include Hebrew in Harmony, a three-year music-based Hebrew curriculum for grades 4-6, and a Teaching Series of topical Judaic guides. Graded resources span early childhood through high school.
