First opened by the Rhea Hirsch School of Education (RHSE) at the Los Angeles campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR/LA) in the mid-1970s, the Tartak Learning Center was created to provide a center for teachers to compile lesson plans and teaching tools for use in Jewish day schools and supplementary schools. Throughout its years, the Tartak Learning Center evolved to serve all educators, providing for them a large collection of tools for curriculum development. Today the center serves the educator alumnae of the RHSE as well as the current students of all programs at HUC-JIR/LA who find themselves in need of lesson plans, primary sources for teaching, and curricula. The center houses a collection of every student's work completed through the course work of RHSE as well as the archives of the annual National Association of Temple Educators curriculum contest. The Tartak Learning Center was named for its generous underwriter, Shirley Tartak.
