Continuing Education Program for Ohalah Members and Klei Kodesh
The ALEPH Bet Midrash, with the support, encouragement, and co-operation of the Ohalah board, is happy to announce a program of continuing education for Ohalah members. This is something for which we have long seen the need and the ALEPH and Ohalah boards have agreed to deploy the Bet Midrash and its director to make this an immediate priority. This program will include a series of short courses in areas where we identify a need, as well as the production of resources which would be helpful to our members working in local communities.
1. The longer we are out in our respective fields, the more we need to learn about and share the way we respond to the situations we are called upon to face. Practising life cycle ceremonies in class, while absolutely necessary, cannot fully prepare us for the many unusual circumstances with which people present us. Thus, we are planning on a series of courses designed to help us both share our experiences with one another and to learn from vatikim to expand our repertoires and abilities to respond.
2. We all need and hunger for opportunities to simply learn Torah Lishma. Too often, as Rabbi David Hartman once said, rabbis learn only in order to teach. In this series, we will offer opportunities to explore texts for the pure joy of learning in a group of like-minded individuals.
3. We hope that these learning opportunities will also produce requests for resources which ALEPH could prepare. At a session in the Fall of 2008, participants requested a machzor done as an electronic download and/or dvd which would include both niggunim and nusach, and a prototype is now available in time for the Yamim Nora’im.
4. There are Ohalah members who would like to add a second semicha, from ALEPH, to the one they already have.
REMEMBER THAT ALL STUDENTS MUST BE CURRENT MEMBERS OF ALEPH.
