This weekly Torah study class is geared toward women of all backgrounds seeking a deeper understanding and appreciation of Jewish thought, heritage and tradition, and promises to be a unique and exciting concept in adult Jewish learning that will enable students to achieve basic Jewish literacy in just one year. This class offers a thorough curriculum with selected readings, diagrams, creative exercises, and specially designed student workbooks.
Classes integrate basic Judaism, Jewish history, Jewish mysticism, and the Jewish calendar, practices and ideas through the study of primary sources, commentaries, and group discussion.
These and other items will enable students to engage in research, discussion, and critical analysis.
The beauty of this class is its ability to convey a basic but sophisticated core of Jewish knowledge in a relatively short period of time, setting the JLI apart, above and beyond the many adult education programs presently being offered.
