 IN 400 WORDS RESPOND TO THE PROMPT:
**THE LINKS AND FILE IS PROVIDED FOR THE BOOKS LISTED BELOW**
Imagine that your child (future child) is best friends with Arielle, a Jewish girl. You have arranged a play date with Arielle and your child when there is a sudden knock on the door.  A neighbor sees Arielle’s mother dropping her off at your house and decides to let you know that Arielle is a Jew. Although you do not know this fact, this hateful neighbor is part of a White Supremacist organization.  She screams obscenities and hateful names to Arielle before you order her off your property.  Your child is horrified and confused.  Arielle is terrified and tearful.  You call the police, report this hate crime, and now you are wanting to educate your child about the plight of the Jewish people being targets of ignorant hatred for centuries.  Where do you begin?
How do you plant the seeds of empathy and love into the heart of your child?
How do you discuss the demonic disposition of Hitler’s Holocaust?
Arielle’s mother comes to your aid and brings you some children’s picture books:

From the first-person voice, pretend that you are speaking to your child in this prompt.  (Just go with me please)
After reading each of these 5 books, discuss how each of these 5 books help to create fundamental empathy and understanding about the Jewish faith. Your writing tone should pretend to ‘speak to a child’. Bring the importance of culture, family, tradition, faith, and language into your voice.   Discuss how fear and persecution have sadly surrounded dear Arielle…her ancestors in the past, and, now….her. Ask your child how they can be a change agent in the world for good.  Remind them they are the future of humanity.
