What is The NCSY Box?The Box is a set of Jewish educational cards, with the look and feel of a professional playing cards, that are meant to spark interactive Jewish conversations and ideas. Whether a Shabbos table, a family trip, or just a get-together, The NCSY Box will have everyone talking.(1) Would You Rather Cards: One side of each card poses a thought provocative and or fun question, such as would you rather give a thousand dollars of charity to one person or one person a thousand dollars. On the other side of the card are sources from the gamut of rabbinic wisdom - in both Hebrew and English, to help navigate the "Would You Rather" question. Other examples include, would you rather have a moving speech at your wedding or funeral, would you rather relive your greatest moment or forget your worst moment, would you rather know when other people are lying or the power to always be believed for your lies. There are over sixty cards in the set complete with questions and sources to consider.(2) Moral Dilemma Cards: Each moral dilemma card asks the read the imagine how they would react to a certain morally challenging scenario. One side presents the scenario, the other side another consideration is added into the equation. For instance, how would you react if you were a principal who found out your star teacher was evading paying taxes? What about if it was someone else asking you to give this teacher a recommendation? Another example, you flunk an important test and instead of a retest, the teacher offers to just change your grade so long as you don't tell anyone - would you do it? What about if you acceptance to college was riding on the exam. The questions are designed to cultivate meaningful moral conversations that have the participants re-examine their internal ethical composition.(3) Conversation Cards: These cards are great ice-breakers in a box. On one side of the card is a fun conversation starter and on the other side is an inspirational quote that relates to the question. Here are some of the conversation questions: describe three things that happen in a perfect day, if you could have lunch with anyone from history who would that be, what was your most irrational fear as a child. Starting conversations can be hard - these cards make it easy. table{border-collapse:collapse}td{background-color:#efefef;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px}th{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px} Sku: TP-NCSY Imprint: Targum Press
