Course Description
This course seeks to inspire you to engage more deeply with classical Jewish texts, give you clear and practical tools to do so, and allow you to practice and refine those tools. Drawing on research on Jewish education and the learning sciences, we will think together about why and how to learn Torah in ways that feel meaningful. We will build on these reflections to refine and practice an approach for meaningful text study applying it to Torah, Mishnah, Gemara, and later texts. We will also consider how to use this method as a teaching tool. The course will culminate in the student leading a session of text study and engaging in reflective practice about that session. 7 sessions of 1.5 hours.
