Har Zion
A.M. Ellis Midrasha (11th & 12th Grades)
Project Teach
Midrasha students learn the
skills needed to lead an afternoon/Sunday religious school classroom.
In the second year students who have completed the first year's
coursework and have proven their capability through model and practice
lessons will be given the opportunity to aid a classroom teacher or to
teach small groups of students. Students who complete this intensive,
two-year course will receive a teacher’s certificate.
Ancient Texts
This two year course explores how vital
Rabbinic texts continue to be relevant and important in the fast-paced
era of the Internet, CNN, and digital information, and looks at how we
can apply these teachings to issues like medical ethics and business
practices. 11th grade focuses on the Mishnah; 12th grade continues
these studies with the Talmud.
Jewish Literature (11th Grade)
Students examine the literature of Judaism, Jewish and Israeli
culture. Jewish Folklore, poetry, prose, Biblical and Holocaust
literature are all explored, so that they become familiar pieces of
our students' literary frame of reference.
