New Hot Topics Series Kicks Off with a Free Lesson Plan

Written by Behrman House Staff, 16 of September, 2014

Our new Resource Libraries series, Hot Topics, presents a balanced investigation of some of today's thorniest issues, and provides opportunities for teens to develop personal responses to them. 

Students will explore eight issues from a Jewish perspective featuring:

  • Social Media: When and What Do You Share?
  • Marijuana: Should it be Legal?
  • Body Image: How Do We See Ourselves?
  • Women of the Wall: Why is it a Big Deal?
  • Gay Rights: How Do We Reconcile Ancient Sources with Modern Ethics?
  • Israel: Can & How Do We Critique Israel?
  • Food Justice
  • Guns: Personal Rights vs. Public Safety

Each Hot Topics resource library item includes an article describing the issue, a lesson plan geared towards teens, and a source sheet that can be distributed to students to enhance discussions. 

A new topic will become available every two weeks for $3.99.

The first Hot Topic, Social Media, is available now for FREE!
