TANAKH

Parshat HaShavua - The Weekly Torah Reading

Yeshiva Staff

An analysis of the parasha, incorporating innovative approaches as well as traditional commentaries, with particular attention to literary aspects and their religious meaning.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

Amos and Hoshea: Before the Earthquake

Rav Yitzchak Etshalom

The flourishing of prophecy in the middle of the 7th century BCE produced four books of Tanakh: Yeshayahu, Mikha, Amos and Hoshea. This course will survey the period and the role of prophets against the background of geopolitical events of the era. Along with a general overview of the rhetoric of the nevi'im, we will study the prophecies of Hoshea and Amos, identifying their audiences and the temporal, as well as timeless, messages that their prophecies impart.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

Eikha - The Book of Lamentations

Dr. Yael Ziegler

This series offers a close reading of the book of Eikha within its biblical-historical context. We will discuss the connections between Eikha and other biblical books, examining the major themes associated with the destruction of Jerusalem, such as Israel's sinfulness and human suffering. We will also observe the manner in which Eikha masterfully deploys poetic language to craft an exquisite composition of grief-stricken emotions and profound theological meaning.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

Mikdash - The Temple (Semester 11)

Rav Yitzchak Levy

The course examines the importance and role of the Temple in Tanakh, Halakha, Jewish philosophy, and history.

TALMUD

Masekhtot - Iyun

Yeshiva Staff

An analysis of the major issues in the gemara, geared for students who are learning the basic text on their own. This year we will be learning Gemara Bava Kama. (This is a repeat of a previously released set of shiurim.)

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

Talmudic Aggadot (2)

Rav Dr. Yonatan Feintuch

In our study of aggadeta, we will attempt to uncover the themes and meanings of the aggadot by means of close readings and literary analyses. In addition, we will study the wider talmudic contexts in which the aggadot are embedded, in an attempt to discover the influence of context on aggada and vice versa. This is not a continuation of our previous series on the subject and can be joined by new students.

Level: All

Duration: Yearly

Introduction to the Study of Talmud

Yeshiva Staff

A structured tutorial on how to learn Gemara, starting from the basics, using text and commentaries. This year we will be learning Megilla. The shiurim were written by Rav Ezra Bick and Rav Michael Siev. (This series is a re-run of shiurim previously given.)

HALAKHA

Avodat Hashem – Foundations of Divine Service (3)

Harav Baruch Gigi

We will study “duties of the heart” (such as faith, love and fear of God, and divine uniqueness) and their connection to our lives as worshippers of God. The framework for our discussion will be an examination of the mitzvot of keriat Shema and prayer, which are cornerstones of the service of God. Our discussions, both halakhic and philosophical, attempt to chart the path leading from the intellect to worship.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

Life Cycles (2)

Rav David Brofsky

After studying the laws concerning the wedding ceremony, we will discuss halakhic prenuptial agreements, the sheva berakhot and seven days of celebration, peru u-revu and family planning, and the first year of marriage.

Level: All

Duration: Yearly

A weekly shiur discussing a specific halakhic question, an analysis of a broad halakhic topic, or the meaning and philosophy behind a particular aspect of the Halakha. This series is coordinated by Rav Mordechai Friedman.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

PHILOSOPHY

Talmud Torah: The Mitzva of Torah Study

Rav Tzvi Sinensky

This course will address the gravity, goals, methods and scope of talmud Torah, the relationship between learning and teaching, and important aggadot and later thinkers on the subject. Along the way, we'll examine fascinating subjects such as Torah lishmah, the emotional world of the learner (reverence, joy, toil), breadth versus depth, Torat Eretz Yisrael, the disgraced Torah scholar, and the character of the rebbe-talmid relationship.

Level: Advanced

Duration: Yearly

The Path of the Piaseczner Rebbe

Dr. Ron Wacks

Rav Kalonymus Kalman Shapira of Piaseczna, known especially for his works Chovat haTalmidim and Esh Kodesh, was an innovative and influential Hasidic rebbe who sought to revitalize the inner world of Hasidut and to provide seekers with techniques of spiritual ascent. This series will pay special attention to his trailblazing teachings regarding the role of imagination in divine service, the quieting of thought and employment of emotion in service of the heart, the role of community, the repair of personality and the possibility of renewing prophecy in our times.
