This innovative course equips students to open the Torah at any page, understand the significance of any given passage to the wider context, analyse a text and step into your own personal resonance with and response to that passage. By September, you will have all the tools to deliver your own Dvar Torah, developed over the course through assignments which gradually build towards this final presentation. Apply here: https://forms.gle/rgjfJcHBeUnspnXe8 More information about the course The course is divided between self-guided learning on a specially-designed Moodle educational learning platform, live webinars, and assignments. ● In the self-guided time, participants spend an hour each week clicking through their course pages. This covers reading, videos, music and pictures. ● The live webinars, spread throughout the course are an opportunity for “extra enrichment” on subjects like training in using the Sefaria website as a Torah learning resource, or dealing with difficult Torah texts. We have found that the social element in these webinars is a crucial galvaniser in online study. ● The assignments are spaced across the course. The course teacher takes time to closely assess these, and offer feedback to each student. ● On average students should dedicate two hours each week to this course A hardcopy course textbook and online course will be provided to all applicants. Who is it for? The course is open to ALL. The contents are best suited to those who have some background in Hebrew reading and a basic grounding in Jewish learning. Dates The Torah L'Am course involves significant independent work that is self-guided, including click-through reading, watching and assignments. However, there are live sessions as well.
