Introduction 
This webquest is designed to bring an element of reality to the Mishna.
 

Aim

1. To bring an element of reality to the Rabbis who are quoted in the Mishna.

2. To bring an element of reality to the concepts discussed in the Mishna.
 

Rationale If you can relate to the topics on a personal level, then the Mishna will become more meaningful. Far too often, we view these Rabbis as non-human entities; people to whom we cannot relate.  Furthermore the concepts and cases presented may seem outdated, or no longer applicable in our times.
 

Goals and Objectives
 

1. To view the Rabbis of the Mishna as human beings just like us.

2. To relate to the concepts mentioned in the Mishna on a personal level.

3. To see a connection or direct relationship between the Torah (Written Law) and the Mishna (Oral Law).
