Jewish Adult Learning
I have been trained in, and run a variety of different opportunities for adult Jewish learning. Scroll down to take a look at the kinds of things I offer, and please do fill in the form if you'd like to join in:
Siddur Hebrew Improvers
We can take a look at some of the key prayers in our prayer books (siddurim) and practice the Hebrew, understand some of the vocabulary and discuss its relevance for us today.
Frequency and number of sessions can be agreed together.
The Shema - Let Loose
We look deeply at the Shema and how it provides us with everything we need to stay mindful, focussed, and with good intentions.
You will have a greater appreciation of this core text, as well as improved fluency in reading the Hebrew too.
4 x 1.5 hour sessions
Torah L'Am
This UJIA initiative, designed by Dr Raphael Zarum, enables participants to understand Torah through different frameworks, leading to a simple way to understand and dive deep into any piece of Torah text.
The course is designed so that by the end, all participants have written and presented a short Dvar Torah - teaching on Torah.
Perfect if you would love to improve your Torah knowledge, and would love to share that with others.
8 x 2 hour sessions
Finding Balance
in our Hectic Lives:
Mussar
Mussar is ancient Jewish mindfulness and practice that feels so contemporary and desperately needed in today's world.
Learn about the basic Mussar ideas and way of practicing, looking at some key middot (soul traits) and how we can easily and practicalby apply Mussar ideas into our daily life and feel more centred, focussed and ready for life's challenges.
minimum 6 sessions, (option to continue as a longer term Mussar study group) 1.5 hours each
