This guide is designed to facilitate meaningful discussions about the powerful stories shared in the Legends Amongst Us podcast and video series. Each legend's section includes a brief overview of their story, along with links to the full conversation in both video and audio formats. Ideally, these conversations should be experienced from start to finish and thoughtfully processed. Additionally, short clips are available to share with your group for focused discussions.
Listen to the podcast episodes here.
The guide also includes discussion questions and activities, which serve as a starting point—feel free to adapt or expand them to suit your needs. If using this resource in a larger group setting, participants can be divided into pairs or smaller groups, with each group focusing on a different legend and presenting their insights to the broader group. However, there are many ways to engage with this material—get creative and make it your own! If you develop an activity or project inspired by these stories, we’d love to hear about it.
Additionally, if you’d like to send messages of support to the families featured in the podcast, please reach out. You can share both via email at hello@rabbibenji.com. Thank you for honoring these stories and those who shared them.
