During the conference, a series of 7 videos were produced designed to provide background on the 7 pillars of the Jewish people we all share and help decide how to distribute the funds raised within the giving circle (as part of the conference $ 45,000 was distributed to 7 initiatives around the Jewish world). Now, the videos are appearing on YouTube and are intended as content units for learners of all ages. This website has an accompanying lesson plan for each video (adapted for high schools) and our site has a lesson plan that encompasses all 7. The videos are in English, but they all have Hebrew subtitles.
