Stories We Live by: The Mitzvah of Not Saying

Grades: 4-7      The Stories We Live By lessons use Jewish folktales and Rabbinic stories to teach important Jewish values. Each lesson tells a story and offers probing questions and text study for students to consider. Twelve Stories We Live By lessons are available. The teacher's guide is sold separately.

Stories We Live by: The Mitzvah of Not Saying  begins with the telling of the story of Rabbi Yisrael of Vinitz, who comes to a congregant's house to do “the mitzvah of not saying” as a way of doing tokhehah, giving rebuke, for what the man has done.
