The SAJM offers programmes and tours to students of all ages from pre-school to university level. We can arrange a general tour lasting about an hour, or a programme tailored to specific ages, interests and requests. Theme-specific programmes are also developed around our temporary exhibitions.
Younger learners love to explore the museum with our Dani Dreidel activity books, have a story in the shtetl and experience a Shabbat table. Specifically for Grades 6-8, we offer the Cultural Diversity Education Programme, which includes an anti-bullying workshop and aims to foster respect for the dignity, rights and values of people from all religions and cultures. During the school holidays, our education programmes continue to operate, hosting youth NGO groups.
In addition, we also host special needs schools for tailor-made tours.
​
Our free Dani Dreidel activity books are also on offer for children who visit the museum privately.
