Bibliography: Book Recommendations for Teenage Girls
By Sara Mosenkis
This is a list compiled from discussion on the edtalk listserv in November, 2001. Shoshana Leis wrote to the list asking for suggestions of a book with a Jewish theme to read and discuss with 12- to 13-year-old girls and got these four recommendations. Do you have others?
Listserve Thread: The Role of Obligation in Judaism
By Rabbi Shai Gluskin
This transcript from the edtalk listserv responds to a question raised by JRF Education Intern Sarah Rubin about how we teach about the role of obligation in Judaism in supplementary religious school, particularly in the context of bar and bat mitzvah. What obligations do we have as individuals? What obligations does the Jewish community have to us?
