Bishvili For Me Curriculum

Bishvili was developed with several goals in mind. The primary objectives were to develop a Jewish Guide to Full of Ourselves that would appeal to Jewish Day Schools and camps, in order to respond to the need for raising strong healthy Jewish Girls and the primary prevention of eating disorders and body image dysmorphia in Jewish Girls. Bishvili was developed with the intention to strengthen Jewish Girls body and self esteem by strengthening girls connection to Jewish values, rituals and practices. We developed specific new activities that are integrated into Full of Ourselves that draw from Jewish text, values, practices with the hope that the additional Jewish activities would both 1)help girls get distance from mainstream values that make girls vulnerable to low body/self esteem, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships and risky behaviors, and 2) strengthen girls connection to their Jewish identity/religion as a source of spiritual nourishment that increases their self and body acceptance.
