Easily Integrate Jewish Values into Your Curriculum
Help Teens Recognize Their Own Jewish Values

How can we help students reflect on previous lessons from the school year and continually work to incorporate them in their everyday lives?

Jewish Values Challenge playing cards helps your students talk about what they have learned and apply Jewish values to help them incorporate the lessons and values into their everyday lives. 

Here's how:

  1. Make a list of the important lessons from the school year
  2. Break your students into small groups and give each group their own list
  3. Have the groups choose two lessons that were their favorites and match the values from their deck that they learned from the lesson. 
  4. As a class discuss the favorite lessons and talk about how the values they learned can be applied to everyday life. 

Each card in this 58-card card deck includes the name of a significant Jewish value in English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew, along with a one-sentence explanation to help clarify the value.

READ: What Would YOU Ask Abraham

Each deck includes instructions for 13 different games in three categories: (1) Values Clarification (e.g., “Judge and Jury”), (2) Team Building (e.g., “What’s Important to Us?”), and (3) Skills Development (e.g., “Say It in Hebrew!”)
