Synopsis

Positively Torah combines classic Torah study with modern principles of positive psychology, empowering 5th to 7th graders to recognize character strengths in Torah heroes and in themselves. Tested and refined in pilot study groups, each of the 14 chapters includes biblical text, character strength definitions, and a range of creative activities and journal prompts. A teaching guide with step-by-step support for educators is available separately.
