All students received two tours of the<br \/>\nmuseum: one tour on Jewish identity across modern Jewish movements, and<br \/>\nthe other on the history of synagogues, featuring models of historically<br \/>\n significant ones. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Xavier teachers often talk about the access our students have to the<br \/>\ncity&rsquo;s cultural institutions, and the Center for Jewish History is about<br \/>\n as accessible as they come. Add the fact that the Center is an<br \/>\noverwhelmingly gracious host and a great supporter of our work here at<br \/>\nXavier, and the trip really becomes a special event for our students,&rdquo;<br \/>\nsaid Mike Mule &lsquo;04, who teaches the World Religions course.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing a relationship with the museum formed by the Center&rsquo;s Julie Kaplan and Xavier Chaplain Rev. Ralph Rivera, S.J.,<br \/>\n when he taught the World Religions course in previous years, the Center<br \/>\n provided tours as well as access to its Genealogy Institute. Three<br \/>\nstudents stayed after the visit ended to work with the Institute,<br \/>\ngaining insight into their families&rsquo; heritage thanks to copious records<br \/>\nand the Institute&rsquo;s dedicated staff.<\/p>\n<p>Oliver Moe &#8217;15 summed up his and his classmates&rsquo;<br \/>\nexperience at the Center: &ldquo;I was shocked that there could be a place<br \/>\nfilled with so much history right across the street from Xavier. It felt<br \/>\n wonderful to be able to explore something many students overlook and<br \/>\nfind it filled with many well-preserved artifacts from Jewish households<br \/>\n and synagogues dating back hundreds of years.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>World Religions students will complete their course with visits to<br \/>\nhouses of worship across the city. Students will attend services and<br \/>\nconverse with congregants at various synagogues, mosques, and Hindu and<br \/>\nBuddhist temples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xavier High School Students Visit Center for Jewish History This blog post originally appeared in the Xavier ENews, used with permission.
