Aim
 
Through the use of this module, Torah Observant adolescent girls will begin to see the relevancy and
the value to their own lives  of the מצוות found in  -
פרשת קדושים, פרק י'ט פסוקים י'ז י'ח. Also, students with textual learning difficulties. once they realize the relevance of the text,  will be motivated to try to improve there skills.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him. יז  לֹא-תִשְׂנָא אֶת-אָחִיךָ, בִּלְבָבֶךָ; הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת-עֲמִיתֶךָ, וְלֹא-תִשָּׂא עָלָיו חֵטְא.
18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. יח  לֹא-תִקֹּם וְלֹא-תִטֹּר אֶת-בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ, וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ:  אֲנִי, יְהוָה.



Rationale 

Most Limudei Kodesh curriculums are set up to only deal with the cognitive domain.  They do not venture into the affective area of the student's life.  There often are assumptions made that just because the student learns about a topic in school, they will automatically apply it to their lives.  Rarely do students discuss the real life applications and difficulties in observing the commandments that affect interpersonal behaviors. Modern psychology has shown that until teenagers are able to recognize the feelings they experience while they undergo an interaction with another person, they cannot begin to deal appropriately with their response.

Aside from this, when there is a student who has difficulty with text skills, since the texts being taught seems to have no relevance to them, the student is totally disinterested.  By making the the text relevant, it will motivate the student with textual learning difficulties to  persevere.
