Abstract: 

This article discusses the use of the curriculum entitled "Jewish Civics: A Tikkun Olam/World Repair Manual," which examines key social and political issues. The curriculum provides a systematic approach to values-based decision-making in social engagement. The article adapts Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development to evaluate motivation for civic behavior. (JB)
