Manga Midrash Pocket Folder

Now you can foster students' Jewish identities while helping them to organize their loose papers.

Manga is a graphic novel technique popular among pre-teens and teens. Midrash is an ancient Jewish storytelling tradition based on biblical texts. Put them together and you have Manga Midrash--Behrman House's innovative and motivating way to teach Torah and Jewish values and integrate them into students' everyday lives.

An easy and attractive way to organize and store students' loose papers, the Manga Midrash Pocket Folder includes manga drawings from two Manga Midrash booklets: Leadership: Jacob and Esau and The Value of Jewish Life: Pharaoh's Daughter and Miriam. Because it is both visually appealing and useful, the folder helps students view their religious school work as being worthy of attention and respect.

Students can personalize the front cover of the folder with their names and grade level. Printed on sturdy, laminated stock, the folder is durable and practical, including pockets with a diagonal slant that make it easier for students to insert papers.
