Watching the clip (the clip will contain the educational part about the Women of Hadassah, the history of Chagall and the creation of the windows).

Leading questions after the viewing:

• What piece of art did Marc Chagall contribute to the Hadassah women?
• In what meaningful place did they choose to put the windows?
• Who do the 12 windows symbolize?
• What problem did the Hadassah women try to solve?

The teacher will explain to the students that each student has things that he is good at and that are uniquely his. Our class is made up of all of these qualities and this is what makes the class special and varied. Each one of the students contributes his skills and qualities to the class and in this way no one has to be good at everything because we are responsible for one another and complement one another.
Just like the Jewish people! The twelve tribes are also different from one another. Each one has their own symbol and characteristic, as we saw in Marc Chagall's piece of art. All of the twelve tribes come together to complement one another and to make up the Jewish people.
Marc Chagall wanted to contribute to the Jewish people from his own skills – drawing and art.
