(Click the image below to view the card.)
It's 1:15am at a friend's sleepover and you want to go home. Your parents said to call any time. In the morning, everyone will see your empty sleeping bag.

The Cards in Action
We presented this card to three M² staff kids in Jerusalem. Here's how it went...
Two minutes. Three answers, none of them the same.
Turn the card over and it'll explain the dilemma's connection to Parshat Vayishlach, where Jacob spends the night alone before facing the brother he's been afraid of for 20 years.
Every card works this way. The dilemma is in language your children or students will understand, and the parsha is waiting on the other side.
