Kindness in Action Chesed U’Tzedakah: Student Booklet
Walder Education is proud to present a comprehensive curricular resource on one of Judaism’s most fundamental practices, the Mitzvah of Tzedakah.
Each unit in the curriculum includes 5 lessons on an overarching theme in tzedakah and comes with a Student Booklet and accompanying Teacher’s Guide. Following an inquiry-based format, students will explore the practices and meaning of tzedakah through a combination of thought-provoking questions, guided study of primary texts, experiential activities, and class discussion.
Unit 3 covers the concepts of chesed (kindness) and tzedakah. Students will develop a deep understanding of the roles that chesed and tzedakah play in all areas of our lives. Lesson 5 of the unit also features a detailed explanation of the hows and whys of maaser (giving a tenth or more of our income to tzedakah).
