<HTML>Use of secular material to teach ethics
>2. Has anyone considered the use of non-Torah literature to help
>sensitize students to ethical issues?
The Union for Traditional Judaism has produced an outstanding resource for
just this topic.
"Taking The MTV Challenge: Media & Torah Values" includes a video tape
with 13 trigger segments from various television shows and commercials.
These segments juxtapose the images and values represented on the screen
with the values found in our classical
Jewish texts. Teacher's guide is included.
Highly recommended by classroom teachers.
