Story #4
When we began our Teshuvah theme, this child said that the word was new to him.
A year later, we asked him to reflect on how teshuvah appears in his life. Astonishingly, he articulated that teshuvah can rebalance power in his relationship with his younger brother. Through our Teshuvah theme, the child came to recognize that power can be used in damaging and nourishing ways, and that teshuvah can rebalance the scales.
What a powerful understanding for an 8 year old!
