Dressing with Dignity – A Story for Tetzaveh
Books
From our friends at JTeach.org:
In this story, Benjy gets dressed for school in questionable clothing and his father provides guidance from the Torah (Parashat Tetzaveh) and the Rabbis. A teacher’s guide is also available for download.
Ideas for Teachers
This story can be used in different ways:
As a trigger for discussion on dress codes and whether behavior is influenced by dress
To introduce the Torah portion Tetzaveh
As part of a lesson on peer pressure
Enduring Understandings
Torah can help provide guidelines for our daily lives.
Our clothing can be a reflection of who we are and a way for us to show respect.
