Benjy Can’t Do It All – A Story for Parashat Yitro

 

Books

From our friends at JTeach.org:

This is a story about a boy who thinks he needs to do everything himself. Benjy learns from examples in Parashat Yitro that it is often better to ask for help. A teacher’s guide is also available for download.

Ideas for Teachers
This story can be used in different ways:
 To introduce Yitro or as a conclusion after studying it (Exodus 18:1-20:23)
 To illustrate how students can find meaning in Torah and make connections to their daily lives
 As a trigger to discuss cooperation and delegation

Enduring Understandings
 We can find meaning in Torah which will help with our relationships and our lives.
 All people, no matter how wise, can learn from others.
