Our Rabbis teach that these three things - Teshuvah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah - will help us improve not only personally but the whole world.

Teshuvah can be linked to thought; what else would you link it to?

Tefillah can be linked to speech, what else connects you with tefillah?

Tzedakah can be linked to action. How do you take part on tzedakah?

Create a poster which demonstrates these three facts.

Read 'The Zebra Question' above.

It is a poem about looking at things from different perspectives (a perspective is a point of view).
The poem shows us that we can look at situations from different perspectives and it is a mistake to see something as simple as being just black and white.
It is important to be open-minded and to see things from other people’s perspectives too.

It’s always hard to admit being wrong in a disagreement…but you really do have to put yourself in the other person’s shoes to see life from their perspective – it changes everything.

Think about what the poem means to you.
Write down your thoughts.
How does it link to Teshuvah?

Think of your own statement to ask the boy as the zebra?

How would you answer one of the zebra's questions?
