Many classical Jewish sources emphasize the value of listening to others. In this clip, Smooch the Orangutan gets a crash course in the power of listening!

I recommend this clip as an intro for a unit on the importance of listening to what others have to say before we respond. Listening as a key to learning and clear communication and understanding.

I have served in a number of different Jewish educational capacities over the years in the United States and Israel, including as a teacher in Jewish day schools and high schools, as a congregational rabbi, as an online teacher, and now as the head of a one-year gap program in Israel for girls. From a very young age, I've been fascinated by puppets and ventriloquist figures. For the past 9 years, I have begun collecting vent figures and producing videos for Jewish education.
