Role Models for Real
(6 Lessons included in the 2010 Curriculum)
Presented in a beautiful binder, Role Models for Real is the first series in a set of comprehensive lesson companions for BatMitzvah. It includes six detailed lessons* filled with conversation starters, original activities and practical suggestions you won’t find anywhere else.
You’ll use this series year after year! Role Models for Real will encourage your member to discover the marvelous possibilities inside of her, and to learn about making tough choices. Most of all, it will introduce her to her Neshama - her Jewish Power House!
An introductory lesson — “Me, My Soul and I” — identifies a Jewish girl’s Neshama; five additional lessons explore the lives of our Imahot with their amazing challenges and original solutions to help teens apply the lessons to their own lives. Each lesson also introduces and examines a unique Mitzvah that girls can implement in their lives. Versatile content and practical suggestions throughout allow you to use all or part of a lesson or spread one lesson over two meetings. For the busy Shlucha, the firsttime BMC leader or the experienced guide who can benefit from a new perspective:
