Our Kitah Dalet students have been talking about responsibility to self, others, and the community at large. Our Torah gives us plenty of opportunities to think about our commitment to family, and the the importance of taking care of others. Specifically, we examined the text in the Torah about Cain and Abel, the children of Adam and Eve, and shared our ideas about birth order and family loyalty. Students participated in a lively debate about how much responsibility one has to take for the errors of others, and what they have to do to protect family. Finally, we shared our ideas about learning right from wrong, and how we have to be taught what is right before we can do something wrong.
Our Torah Talk discussions have expanded into our values lessons and we continue to talk about taking things that don't belong to us, and what is rightfully ours. Our discussion have moved from taking things to finding things, and what we have to do to insure we find the rightful owner of lost items. Please ask you student to share their thoughts with you.
