Areyvut proactively develops content to educate, engage, motivate and inspire others to action. We are pleased to share this resource on Icebreakers: Guided Activities To Help People Get To Know Each Other.
We see this as a supplementary resource designed to help educators and individuals in all settings all year long. If you know of any educator or person that can benefit from this, we ask that you please share this with them and encourage them to actively use it. While this guide focuses on Icebreakers, it also teaches critical values like communication, active listening, leadership, team building and following directions that are all relevant and essential in educating today’s youth. We strongly suggest that you spend time in advance before just selecting an activity and that you always modify the Icebreaker to best meet your target audience and particular goals.
We would like to particularly acknowledge Dr. Valuerie Thaler, Judith Jaffe, Nora Steinberg and Rena Ray for their contributions and roles in bringing this endeavor to fruition.
We acknowledge, thank and recognize our Board members past and present for their role in facilitating our holy and important work. Without them, their dedication and passionate commitment to the core Jewish values of chesed, tzedakah and tikkun olam, Areyvut and this resource would not exist. In particular, we dedicate this resource to Sara Weinberg, our outgoing Board Chair and longtime Board member. Sara has been an invaluable asset and advisor to Areyvut and her efforts have profoundly impacted many the world over, including you. As a lay leader, noted educator and engaged parent, Sara has used Icebreakers over the years and as she completes her years of dedication to the Board, we thought this a fitting tribute to publicly thank her for her leadership, guidance, active partnership and ongoing distinguished service.
Areyvut is dedicated to the core Jewish values of chesed, tzedakah and tikkun olam. We educate, engage, motivate and inspire others to concrete and meaningful action. This Icebreaker guide is one of our latest initiatives. We invite you to actively use this, to engage others and welcome any feedback that can help us in our mission to continue creating educational tools and materials that relate to our mission. We may be contacted at info@areyvut.org.
Rather than monetize this curriculum, we made the conscious decision to make it readily available for free.
