Helping Others

The goal:

Each day we find people that don’t care enough about things around them.

Your Chanichim will understand, that we have to learn to take care about the people around us, and to think about them sometimes, like we want them to think about us. If we want a healthy and good society, we have to work on our Midot! .

We need to pay attention not only for our self’s, and family. We need to pay attention also for people that we don’t know, and to take care for them, too.

The Chanichim will understand, that to take care isn’t only in the big things, it is also in the little things, during the day, and we need to get use to this idea….

Goal: For chevraya aleph, the goal is to familiarize them with some of the worldwide Jewish causes and to emphasize that we have a connection will all Jews all over the world. For Zach, the goal is to go a make the sicha a little deeper and debate the issues; how much should we be involved in causes halfway across the world when we have so many things to be involved in right near us at home?

To identify those areas in which we can learn from our non-Jewish teachers and acquaintances, as well as the limits we must place on our interaction with these individuals

Goals: A peula with this theme does not present a difficult concept for chanichim to take in. But there should be more depth to it than just “being nice to each other” games. Snif should end with a feeling of caring about other people.

            But such a peula could work on several levels – dealing with the following:

i.                     Our responsibilities towards our friends

ii.                   Our responsibilities towards those people we know or know about who are less fortunate than ourselves (e.g. the elderly)

iii.                  Our responsibilities to less fortunate Jews in other parts of the world

Goals: 1. Awareness of the idea of Jewish Responsibility. 2. Awareness of the practical options and possibilities through which we can actualize our relationship with other Jews. 3. Understanding that responsibility can not be fulfilled with money alone.

to teach the chanachim the importance of kvutza and working as a  team.

Goal: the chanichim should understand that each one can hurt the whole class and it is ones power to help the whole class/ group/ friends as well

To teach the chanachim more about Ben Adam L'Chavera and specifically teamwork.

Goal: the subject of snif this week is “Ben Adam l’chavero.” This is interaction between one (wo) man to another (wo) man. We’re supposed to talk about how one little action can effect our lives is an extremely dramatic way. Although a little action can have from very little to no affect on somebody’s life at all whatsoever, it is our job to stress the fact that it can.

To teach the chanachim the importance of Ben Adma L'Chavera and how this may even be a lifesaving action!

To show the kids how we should stand up for what we believe in just like all our role models and people we look up to.

Make chanichim understand the power and responsibility they have to help others
