Community Learning

The Schechter Institute of Jewish Learning’s Community Learning program’s high level courses are created by some of the most creative teaching minds in Jewish learning.

 

Each semester, our teachers and leaders develop and bring to life literature, art, history, Jewish texts, Bible, religious interpretations and inter-religious dialogues. From Maimonides to the Shtetl, from Judy Chicago to the unknown Yemenite jeweler, from Rashi to Richler, our teachers enrich the community as we delve into the past, the present and the future.

 

Schechter offers in-person, online and tours through our community learning courses.

 

Read what our students report:

“I enjoyed the Bible course immensely.  Not only were my eyes opened about the Joseph Narratives, I think I learned to approach any narrative with a more penetrating approach.” (S. Caesarea, Israel)

 

“It is a pleasure to listen and read Dr. Malamet´s lectures. I learn a lot and I´m impressed with the high intellectual level he is teaching.” (H. Germany)

 

“May I commend you on your enormous effort and intelligent selection of places (Christian sites in Jerusalem). I look forward to a continuation of the dialogue and encounters with Christians in Jerusalem.” (R. Jerusalem, Israel)

 

“It was meaningful to share the course with participants from all over Israel. I felt involved and integrated in the class despite being on the other side of the world. I would highly recommend Shana’s (Dr. Shana Rosenblatt Mauer) course and I look forward to continuing to learn with the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem.” (E. Canada)
