מידה Middah Inspired Discussion Guide
We hope that these discussion questions, based on our camp midot, will help your family have a meaningful conversation about the movie you chose to watch.
- What do we learn about the importance of אמון (coach ability) from the characters in the movie? Have you ever been resistant to learning from a coach?
- What are examples of how אומץ (courage) in shown as people try to pursue their dreams? What is a time where you have been the underdog and displayed אומץ?
- How much of a role does חדוה (joy) take in success? How far can pure love of a game take us?
- Despite their differences, arguments, perspectives, we often see people come together. What role does קשר (connection) to the game, to other people, to family, play in one ability to succeed?
- It is great to have a lot of גאווה (pride). But, can you ever have too much?When does having too much גאווה become a challenge?
- We are always reminded on the importance of כבוד (respect). During the movie where did showing כבוד pay off? Where did not showing כבוד make things more difficult?
