How it works
Yael is a made-up girl in a village beside a big lake in Galilee. One day she sits on a hillside to hear Jesus teach.
Jesus told them to treat other people the way they wanted to be treated. He also said to be kind to people who are unkind, to give to people who ask, not to judge, and to forgive.
In the story Yael meets small moments, each tied to what Jesus taught. She asks Tavi kindly for her ball, gives Old Eli a fig, invites Mira to play, helps Dov pick up his figs and lends Nadav her top.
Jesus also said to take the plank out of your own eye first. Yael says sorry to Noam before she helps with the speck in his eye.
Worked examples
Ask, do not grab
- Tavi took Yael's red ball, and she wanted to grab it back.
- She remembered how she would like to be asked.
- So she asked kindly, and they threw it together.
Think how it feels
- Mira stood alone by the wall.
- Yael wondered how she would feel in Mira's place.
- So she invited Mira to play, and now the circle had room for everyone.
Plank first
- Yael had been cross with Noam all week, so her own eye was not so clear.
