Leadership King David
מי המנהיג? דוד לשלטון! (מנהיגות לפי דוד המלך(Peula)


בפעולה זו נברר יחד עם החניכים את מאפייניו של המנהיג האידיאלי, ע"י הכרת דמותו של דוד המלך.

מתוך כך נלמד להבחין בין סוגי המנהיגים השונים ונפנים את המידות החשובות למנהיג ולנו.


דוד המלך הוא סמל למנהיגות ביהדות, הוא צומח מתוך העם ולמרות שהוא נרדף וחייו אינם קלים הוא לעולם לא מוותר, הוא שומר על אופיו ולא נכנע- גם כשיש לו הזדמנות לפגוע בשאול שרודף אחריו ולא נותן לו לחיות בנחת- הוא לא עושה זאת מכיוון ששאול הוא המלך. גם כשהוא חוטא- הוא חוזר בתשובה ומבקש מהקב"ה שימחל לו. לא סתם אנחנו מתפללים כל יום למשיח בן דוד, משיח מזרע דוד – הוא משיח בעל תכונותיו של דוד המלך. מהסיפור הזה אנחנו לומדים כיצד ראויה להיות דמותו של המנהיג שלנו ולפי מה לבחור אותו- לא לפי מראהו או עושרו, אלא לפי צרוף תכונות אילו.

ואם דוד, שהיה רועה צאן, הצליח להגיע להיות מלך ישראל- כל אחד מאתנו יכול להיות מנהיג, הרי דוד מלך ישראל חי וקיים, איך הוא חי וקיים? בנו , בתכונות המנהיגות שבנו.
