HEBREW HIGH SCHOOL
For those B’nai/B’not Mitzvah students who wish to continue their Jewish education,
this year there will be offered this year four Hebrew High School classes: Hebrew
High 8; Hebrew High 9/10; Hebrew High 11 and Hebrew High 12. Hebrew High 8-11
will meet 20 times a year, Hebrew High 12, twelve times, as indicated in the
calendar. Snow days will be made up if possible.
In keeping with the policy instituted last year, students will be able to move from
class to class if they so choose. A schedule of topics to be discussed or DVDs to
be shown will be posted regularly in email; should students be interested in a topic
being presented in a class other than their own, they may switch classes for as
long as they wish. The subject matter, not the grade level, is most import6ant, and
students should feel free to engage in topics interesting to them. Students may
also choose an independent study project under the rabbi’s supervision.
Hebrew High 8
Students will be introduced to major issues of the day – abortion, capital
punishment, triage, war, etc. – from the vantage point of Jewish law. They will learn
how these issues were viewed through the centuries by rabbis through a study of
the Torah, Talmud and Responsa literature. Students will also view several DVDs
on subjects such as Israel and archeology.
Hebrew High 9
Issues ranging from theology to dating will be discussed from a Jewish perspective
using both biblical and Rabbinic sources. Students will see several videos as well.
Hebrew High 10/11
Several important books of the Bible Ecclesiastes and Job, as well as several
prominent stories from the Torah – will be analyzed in detail. There will also be a
workshop showing how several of these stories were portrayed in art. The
students will continue to work on the creation of a new movement in Judaism,
increasing their awareness of how the rabbis of the Talmud fashioned the Judaism
by which we live today. Students will also see several videos dealing with
contemporary issues.
Hebrew High 12
Students will meet with the rabbi to determine their schedule month to month.
Joseph Telushkin’s book “Jewish Literacy” will be the major focal point of study.
HEBREW HIGH ELECTIVE
At the end of the academic year the rabbi will offer a workshop for those interested
students on a particular Talmudic or Biblical text. Students may use the workshop
to make up classes missed earlier in the year. The dates and the topic of the
worship will be posted on email in February or March.
