Recognizing local educators who creatively design and execute innovative Jewish educational experiences and share them with the community.

Our mission is to reward the efforts of Boulder’s Jewish educators to innovate and share outstanding teaching ideas, while building the virtual lesson plan library and teacher resource section at HaSifria. Past, present and future Jewish educators and/or creative thinkers are encouraged to submit ideas that inspire student's commitment to Jewish values and love of Jewish learning. The Chidush awards and the virtual lesson plan library are initiatives of the Weaver Family Foundation in cooperation with HaSifria, Boulder’s Jewish library at the JCC and the Colorado Agency for Jewish Education.

The Chidush Lesson Plan Library offers award winning lessons submitted by Jewish Educators from Boulder, Colorado. Lesson plans may be downloaded and reproduced for use by teachers, but use of the material for publication is strictly prohibited. Paper editions of the lessons are available at HaSifria, 3800 Kalmia Ave. Boulder, CO.
