LESSON PLAN

Lesson 1: The Message of Abraham

Our universal message isn’t “Be Jewish,” so what is it? See how Judaism’s universal concern began with Abraham and what ethical monotheism means in practice.

Lesson 2: Is Morality Obvious?

Can logic create morality? Explore the value of innate human dignity, where it comes from, and the trouble with pinning new sources to a timeless moral principle.

Lesson 3: Educating Children

Is raising kids all about career-prep? What should we teach our children at school and at home? See the critical purpose that makes family life so central to Judaism’s universal morality.

Lesson 4: It Will Get Better

History is a story of purpose and progress, not endless cycles of doom. See how this makes every moral choice a stepping stone to a harmonious future.
