Building Jewish Life: Death

Grades: 3-4           BJL Lifecycle lessons make studying life cycle moments and practices easier for students to embrace.  They can be used in any order with any starting point. Each unit introduces key vocabulary, and basic concepts, and provides a story about each Jewish life cycle event.  Through stories and hands-on activities, simple explanations, and family involvement, students study the moments in life that connect us to Jewish life and God. Families are actively invited to become part of the process.

The unit on Death is not an easy subject to talk about. It might be a good idea to have a psychologist come into the class to help talk about death or have a rabbi come in. It might also be a good idea to let parents know that this topic is going to be discussed, as some children might have a hard time dealing with the subject.
