How can educators help students critically engage with complex Jewish texts through exploration of human behavior and decision making? This Facing History session will explore the role of perspective-taking, meaningful reflection and building empathy in the study of traditional Jewish text. Educators will gain strategies for providing students with opportunities to form opinions about themes such as power, systems of inequity, and the multiple ways of being human in the world today.
