Jewish Ritual and the Transition Beyond High School

This lesson supports teens in creating a Jewish ritual for the transitoin beyong high school.  It explores how Judaism not only recognizes, but also celebrates, moments of transition. By reviewing various ways in which Judaism views moments of transition, learning about the anthropological concept of liminality, and exploring various contemporary ways in which modern Jews use ritual, the students will consider ways in which they, too, can use ritual to mark their own moments of transition.
