Transforming Students into Trustees

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Now that you've done all the PR work with staff and congregants, set up all of the accounts, and gotten the ball rolling on your fund-raising campaign, you can get down to the real fun – teaching! What follows are a series of lesson plans and activities that cover three major themes: tzedakah, foundation operations, and group decision-making. The activities are listed in five categories: Introductory and Miscellaneous Activities, Tzedakah in Jewish Text and Tradition, Philanthropy, Brainstorming and Decision-Making, and the Work of Tzedakah in Action. Select those that will work most effectively in your program. At the end of the chapter, there are a series of copyable worksheets referenced in the activities.

Note that this selection of activities is nowhere near exhaustive and can be adapted and supplemented by other programming. There are many wonderful tzedakah curricula, from which many of the activities here have been adapted. Many can be incorporated into Tzedakah in Action very effectively (see Appendix B on p.79 for sources and suggestions). Look around, talk to your colleagues, and be creative.
