Gene Simmons is teaming up with Stevie Van Zandt and his nonprofit TeachRock to Amplify Jewish Heritage in US high schools!

They’re on a mission to help every student discover joy, meaning, and a sense of purpose by bringing core curriculum to life through music and culture.

They’re also on a mission to provide all US students with authentic representations of Jewish people, and to proactively combat rising antisemitism through education.

TeachRock needs to raise $500,000 to support the new Amplifying Jewish Heritage curriculum for high schools nationwide. This peer-to-peer effort seeks to collectively raise $50,000 of the $500,000 needed by October 19.

This program helps students connect Jewish history and culture to music, social change, and the arts, making the stories of our past come alive in ways that resonate deeply with young people today.

By showing how Jewish voices have shaped movements, influenced culture, and contributed to society, the curriculum ensures future generations understand not only the richness of Jewish heritage but also its lasting impact on the world around them.

At a time when preserving and teaching history matters more than ever, this work is essential.

Will you join Gene, Stevie and TeachRock in supporting it? Together, we can bring these stories to life and make sure they are never forgotten.
