Jewish History: Some of the most crucial aspects of Judaic self-knowledge stem from a clear understanding of Jewish history. This course covers the entire gamut of Jewish history, from Abraham all the way to the modern era.
Jewish Living: Life as a Jew is greatly enriched by an understanding of the basic details and meanings of the rituals, customs, and observances of Jewish life. Learn the meaning of the holidays and their customs, understand the rituals which mark the passages of life, find the richness of the Jewish practices that suffuse our daily lives as Jews – all through the study of authentic text sources.
Jewish Thought: Learn and understand the foundational ideas and concepts which form the basis for Judaic thinking through the ages. This module covers the Jewish approach to free will, suffering, the development of Jewish law, the afterlife, and more – all studied with authentic source texts and class discussion.
The Book: The Torah is the foundational text of our people. For this reason, participants of the Kollel Institute are taken on a tour of the entire body of the five books of Moses. Learn about the essential personalities, events, and lessons of the entire Torah in a mere three years!
While the Institute operates in a three year cycle, you can begin at the beginning of any year! The curriculum has been designed so that the material of each year is independent of the material taught in a previous year. Just jump in and stay for three years and you will complete the curriculum!
