Type de ressource: peoula (activite) dans: English
Ans 10 - 18
Taille du groupe 10 - 55
Temps estime: 45 minutes
Goal: To
familiarize the chanichim with leadership figures and to encourage them to be
leaders-each one in his own personal way!
Sicha:
This peulah is meant to be used for all age groups, with more emphasis on the
sicha in the older grades and more of a focus on the games section for the
lower grades.
Start
by asking each Chanich/a who his/her role model is. Ask them why? What makes that individual a role model? (A story perhaps from the chanichim about why?) Don’t forget to include your role model!
As
people we have many leaders. We have
religious leaders of all types, political leaders, academic leaders, and
personal leaders.
It
is important for us to know who our leaders are, so we know what kind of person
to follow and strive to be like. Since
that is essentially what a leader is – a role model, an example.
Let’s
start small. As young people we have
even more leaders. First and foremost
our parents are our leaders – and the most important ones we could have. Then comes our school teachers and principals
and our hadracha (in SNIF and Camp and other youth programs)! These people can and should act for us as
personal, spiritual (religious) and academic leaders.
On
a broader level, we have community leaders – mainly our Shul Rabbi and our
school principal/director.
On
a more idealistic level we have Jewish leaders - common leaders for the
entire Jewish community. We have people
like the Rabanut Ha’Rashit of
There
are other people as well who we consider Jewish leaders today who fit into many
categories, and these leaders are more subjective leaders and they are determined
on an individual basis. For example –
Natan Sharansky (and Avital Sharansky); Nachshon Waxman, the MIAs, Chayalei
Tzahal,
It
seems that we have many leaders. This can be overwhelming. But it can also prepare us for our future
task: Making ourselves into
leaders.
You
can be a leader for others, but more importantly you can be your own
leader. There is great importance in
being your own personal leader and setting up your own priorities. But before reaching that stage you have to
take examples from others.
“Ase
lecha Rav, K’ne lecha chaver.” Pick the
people who you wish to you be your leaders and follow them. Start at home, start with your parents and
your teachers.
Game:
· Attach a name of a Jewish leader to the back of each
chanich/a’s back. They have to guess
whose name is on their backs by asking the other chanichim yes and no
questions. Once everyone has guessed
their person, go around the room and ask each chanich/a why that person is a
Jewish leader today. (examples of
leaders – Rav Solovietchik, the Shul Rabbi, the school principal, the name of
the marich/a, the Rosh SNIF, Natan Sharansky, etc…)
· (more for the younger chanichim than the older
ones.) FOLLOW THE LEADER!!! Pick a leader and go around the building
following that chanich/a’s actions. Every few minutes pick a new leader.
