I second Aileen's recommendation. We have a set of these, and I'm debating
if I have enough in the funds to purchase one of them that is falling apart
(bad binding, pages falling out).

Linda, Have you looked at: 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices (6-Volume Set) Rabbis Elliot N. Dorff, Danya 
Ruttenberg, Louis E. Newman, eds. Includes titles

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Body 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Money

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Power

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Sex and Intimacy

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: War and National Security 

Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices: Social Justice. 

This JPS ethics series deals with some of the most critical moral issues of our 
time. Each volume presents hypothetical cases on specific topics, followed by 
traditional and contemporary sources. Supplementing these are brief essays, 
written by contributors of various ages, backgrounds, and viewpoints to provoke 
lively thought and discussion. These voices from Jewish tradition and today’s 
Jewish community present us with new questions and perspectives, encouraging us 
to consider our own moral choices in a new light.

 

The Jewish family ethics textbook ;Scheindlin, Neal S.   
2021

"The Jewish Family Ethics Textbook guides teachers and students of all ages and 
backgrounds in mining classical and modern Jewish texts to inform decision 
making on hard choices"- Judaism offers us unique—and often divergent—insights 
into contemporary moral quandaries. How can we use social media without hurting 
others? Should people become parents through cloning? Should doctors help us 
die?

The first ethics book to address social media and technology ethics through a 
Jewish lens, along with teaching the additional skills of analyzing classical 
Jewish texts, The Jewish Family Ethics Textbook guides teachers and students of 
all ages in mining classical and modern Jewish texts to inform ethical 
decision-making. Both sophisticated and accessible, the book tackles challenges 
in parent-child relationships, personal and academic integrity, social media, 
sexual intimacy, conception, abortion, and end of life. Case studies, largely 
drawn from real life, concretize the dilemmas. Multifaceted texts from 
tradition (translated from Hebrew and Aramaic) to modernity build on one 
another to shed light on the deliberations. Questions for inquiry, commentary, 
and a summation of the texts’ implications for the case studies deepen and open 
up the dialogue.

Text Messages: A Torah Commentary for Teens Paperback – May 1, 2012 by Rabbi

people; Body image; Tattoos; Community service; The meaning of faith; Authority 
and rebellion; The role of ritual; Personal theology; Prayer; Civility’ Living

 Linda,

There's a series- not new but still relevant, I think, called You be the Judge. 
It has some ethical questions in it. Although I've used it with younger kids, 
like upper elementary, I think it could be used with highschoolers. Torah Aura 
is the publisher.
There are at least 3 in the series and are available on Amazon and maybe at a 
Jewish seller.
