Setting personal goals for the classroom teacher

Teacher training
Designed for: 
Teachers
The goals of the meeting are to focus on goals, to become familiar with practices, and to acquire practical tools to achieve the goals. This meeting will deal with setting goals for each classroom teacher for her own classroom. We will do this using projective tools from the world of visual images. At the beginning of the meeting, we will get into the atmosphere by choosing a tool from a tool sheet that the teacher feels she needs for the coming week in her classroom and explain why – this is how we get into the subject, it will be both a little funny and a little liberating. After that, we will really dive in with the help of drawing to define the personal goals of each classroom teacher for her classroom. And finally, we will get to know the practices that Keren Leon, the head of the primary program, defines for classroom teachers and discuss them.

Talmud that leads to action

Lesson plan
Designed for: 
Seminaries, communities
The Jewish tradition places Torah study and Torah observance as its central values. Study and action are perceived as being in conflict with each other, and investing in one comes at the expense of investing in the other. This perception leads to the question of which is greater, Talmud or action? and pushes for a decision on this question. Deciding on this question may be expressed in investing greater time, energy, and resources, but it mainly affects the hierarchy that is created between Talmud and action. Creating a hierarchy between the two may also create a hierarchy between people who engage in study and those who engage in action, and exclude certain people from study and other people from action. Blurring the dichotomy between study and action and identifying learning processes that involve action and actions that involve Torah study makes it possible to expand the circles of study and action to different groups in the population and reduce social exclusion from one of these circles in order to continue their centrality in the Jewish tradition alongside each other.
