For the chanichim to see the evolution of halacha

To learn some sources about the way the Torah expects us to live.

To understand the purpose of our life style

To find the ideal way of life

Goal: The chanichim will understand that there are levels of giving charity. In addition, they will understand that giving charity is meant not only to help the poor man, but to make us into better and giving people. Finally, The chanichim will internalize that according to Judaism although people have private property, essentially all of their money belongs to God. There are many laws that demonstrate this idea, asking each Jew to give of their own to the weak.

Object: To get the Chanichim to realize that Halacha and Kaballah are not two polar opposites but they both work together to create the bigger picture of practicing Judaism. This is how we can approach a place like Tzefat which is so well known for both its Halachik and Kabalistic giants.

This week the theme is personal values.  Why do you do what you do?  To teach thwe chanachim that every day, all of us have to make lots of little choices. We hope that they live up to what we think our values, but we all know that it doesn’t always happen the way we want it to.

To explore what it means to be a Jew and show the chanichim that there is no one definition of a good Jew.
