For Whom Are We Responsible? Jewish Identity in a Larger World

This semester-long course is designed to build on the students’ previous experience with the Talmud. Students continue to study traditional Jewish texts, building their critical-thinking skills, and furthering their understanding of rabbinic thought. Through topical study of Jewish texts, students explore their identity as Jews. They are pushed to question the roles they play and the relationships they form within their own communities, and within the larger world. Topics of study may vary from level to level. Offered at the following levels:
Advanced Beit Midrash Talmud
Enriched Beit Midrash Talmud
Talmud
General Talmud
Akiva Talmud (designed for students new to Jewish day school)
