Learn how to speak, read and write in the language of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Through the use of fun educational methods such as biblio-drama, articles, Israeli TV, conversation and song, discover how easy and enjoyable it can be to connect with this ancient and modern language, which is so important for an understanding of Judaism as well as for an entryway into the important modern country called Israel. 6-weeks The first topic of discussion will be, Cain and Able: Understanding both sides of the Story of the World’s First Murder. Participants will analyze and discuss various traditional Jewish sources to understand what Cain was really upset about, whether he actually intended to kill his brother, and what the Torah is trying to tell us about dealing with conflict.
