Teach Me Torah

Teach Me Torah introduces eight classic Bible texts, from Genesis to the story of Joseph, and the Jewish values that can be drawn from them, such as taking care of God's world and asking for forgiveness. Each story is told in simple yet dramatic language and is presented in its own four-page, full-color folder. The back page of the folder includes an Ask at Home section with discussion questions based on the biblical story or Jewish value for students to explore with their parents. For example, the Rebecca folder, which introduces the value of showing kindness, invites parents and students to explore the question, What does kindness look like to you? 1. God and Creation-Taking Care of the World 2. Adam and Eve-Accepting Responsibility 3. Noah-Doing the Right Thing 4. The Tower of Babel-Remembering to be Humble 5. Abraham-Standing up for Others 6. Rebecca-Showing Kindness 7. Jacob and Esau-Keeping Peace in the Family 8. Joseph-Asking for Forgiveness
