Heart and Soul: Integrating SEL with Torah

Sunday June 21, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDT

Our middle school students are learning and growing not just in their academics, but also in their feelings and emotions. And as they strengthen connections with others and deepen their understanding of themselves, it’s the perfect time to gain a better understanding of the Torah through social emotional learning (SEL). In this session we will first explore the importance of SEL for this age group, and explore the new ISJL 6th grade curriculum which incorporates SEL throughout each lesson.
