Pirkei Avot 5:17

Every dispute that is for the sake of Heaven, will in the end endure; But one that is not for the sake of Heaven, will not endure. Which is the controversy that is for the sake of Heaven? Such was the controversy of Hillel and Shammai. And which is the controversy that is not for the sake of Heaven?
Such was the controversy of Korah and all his congregation.כָּל מַחֲלֹקֶת שֶׁהִיא לְשֵׁם שָׁמַיִם, סוֹפָהּ לְהִתְקַיֵּם. וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ לְשֵׁם שָׁמַיִם, אֵין סוֹפָהּ לְהִתְקַיֵּם. אֵיזוֹ הִיא מַחֲלֹקֶת שֶׁהִיא לְשֵׁם שָׁמַיִם, זוֹ מַחֲלֹקֶת הִלֵּל וְשַׁמַּאי. וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ לְשֵׁם שָׁמַיִם, זוֹ

(27) And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

What are the characteristics of God? Think about what you have heard from parents, teachers, rabbis, friends, etc...

How does the Torah describe God? Give examples.

Do you think that all human beings have a "piece of God" in them? Is this something that you need to work to get or does everyone have it when they are born?

Think about ways that people can act "in the image of God". Plan a skit with your team about people in camp acting as if they were similar to God.
