1. Curiosity: Choose a fuzzy point or a question that sparks your curiosity in תורה.
Ex. Why does it say וילכו שניהם יחדו twice? What does it mean?
Why does only אברהם return to the נערים?
How could 'ה ask אברהם to do something like this?
*State it as a clear question so people know what to expect.
2. Presentation: What is going to draw your audience in to listen?
Ex. People love משלs!
Jokes or Riddles
Excellent Eye Contact, Good Posture, and Public Speaking Skills
* This part is limited only by your own creativity.
3. Inspiration: What is the message you want your audience to leave with?
Ex. Ramban's message of אברהם needing to actualize his potential.
*This is the most important part. Make it clear and personal. It must be thought-provoking to
leave your audience with food for thought.
Now it's your turn! Grab a partner or work independently and choose a topic. Then take 6 minutes to use these three steps and create your own 60-second Dvar Torah to present to the class. Use at least one פסוק and be certain that there is a clear question, resolution, and takeaway message. Only one from each group needs to present, but the Dvar Torah must be created together.
Topic Choices:
Akeidat Yitzchak (You can use your notes or come up with your own ideas.)
- See בראשית כב for help
Sukkos
- See ויקרא כג:לד, במדבר כט:יב, דברים טז:יג for help
Respect for Parents, Elders, and Teachers
- See שמות כ:יא, ויקרא יט:לב, דברים ה:טז for help
HAVE FUN!
