JSL reflection

  • What did you learn about leadership from the Jewish Supreme Leader (JSL) election project?
  • Lots more people in the Torah were leaders and not just Moses.
  • Through the stories of the leaders we studied, what are some positive ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership?
  • Stand up for yourself.
  • What are some negative ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership?
  • Listen to god or else in some cases you die.
  • If you could create the ideal JSL, what would that person be like: their qualities, their personal story, their weaknesses? Why?
  • They would believe in god and some times drink too much. They started off in a poor family and became a great leader but when their mom died they started drinking. They believe in God but sometimes question God.
  • How do you think leadership has changed from Torah times to modern times?  How is it still similar?
  • You lead people but most of the time there’s not much religion involved.
  • How does the JSL election change the way you think about leadership?  Why?
  • It didn’t.

Causes of slavery

What were 3 causes for slavery? 

  • The white masters were lazy and didn’t want to work.
  • You had to buy the slaves to get free labor which is cheaper than paying wages.
  • They could show off their slaves because if you had slaves you had money.

What did white slave owners use their slaves for? Why?

They used them for planting, harvesting, laundry, taking care of kids and cooking. During harvest season slaves were expected to work 48-hour shifts.

What crops did slaves harvest? Why these crops?

Cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, and rice. These crops were at the time the biggest “cash crops.”

Where were most slaves from? Why?

Africa, because England controlled Africa and then when the English people found them they would ship them to the USA to be sold to white people that own a farm.

Why did so many slaves move to the colonies? Was this their choice? Explain.

They were forced to move by the people who sold them. There was so many because farmers wanted lots of them to work for free for them so they don’t have to work anymore.

Why were there so many slaves in the colonies?

It was a big market back then so there was lots of supply and demand.
