Content of Their Character: T'shuvah (Repentance)

Grades: 6-Adult      Content of Their Character lessons offer students a definition and text study of Jewish values with practical applications. Each of these lesson folders contains material for three to four forty-five-minute classroom sessions.

The notion is simple. The constant process of heshbon hanefesh, the  accounting of the soul, is the essential tool in Jewish growth. The center of this lesson is one of seeing t'shuvah as not being a once-a-year activity, but a prime
Jewish process, one that needs to take place regularly.
