Positively Torah

Positively Torah: The Superpower of Character 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.

For thousands of years the Jewish people have studied Torah, and today its stories continue to offer sources of inspiration for how to use the strengths we each possess to make a difference in the world, while at the same time helping us develop better relationships with family, friends, and the people around us.
