 * **__ Turn it and Turn it Again for Everything is in it __ ** ||
 * HIGH SCHOOL ||
 * This course introduces students to Torah study and culminates in a class-devised dramatic presentation. With a foundation in Ben Bag Bag’s statement to “turn it and turn it again for everything is in it” (//Pirke Avot// 5:25), students learn to “turn” Jewish texts to gain multiple interpretations. The unit also provides guidance to prepare students to act out their own interpretation of //Nitzavim//. ||
