Choosing a learning track
For those of you who are interested in choosing a learning track and being part of the full Shalhevet Beit Midrash program, there are 4 tracks to choose from:
- Tanya: Learn Tanya with Rav Steinsaltz’s excellent and mind provoking commentary.
- Parsha: Learn a part of the weekly Parsha with Rav Steinsaltz's amazing insights.
- Prayer: Learn the meaning - both literal and conceptual - of the Prayers we say every day.
- Talmud: Learn how to learn the Talmud With Rav Steinsaltz's commentary
If you don't find a subject that intrigues you in the list of tracks – don't worry. Let's talk about what you are interested in learning and we will find a chavruta especially for you.
The Pairing
After you register, we will contact you in order to choose the perfect learning partner for you among Rav Steinsaltz’s students. We can't guarantee you a 100% match, but we promise to do our best.
The Weekly Learning
The learning will be chavruta style through "Zoom". Don't be shy. Rav Steinsaltz always said that questions are usually better that answers, and that each person has the right to demand ownership of the Torah. This is your opportunity to take an active role in your learning sessions!
The Monthly Class
In addition to your chavruta weekly learning sessions, you will have the opportunity to dive even deeper in your learning subject, hearing lectures from the top Rabbis and teachers from Rav Steinsaltz's Yeshiva in Tekoa. In this forum, you will also have the chance to meet and share ideas with other chavruta pairs, enriching your learning experience. (Note: the monthly class is optional.)
The Monthly Farbrengen
A "Farbrengen" is an old Chasidic tradition that includes a gathering of people who are interested in sharing and hearing, creating a heart to heart conversation about their Jewish lives, dreams, aspirations, successes and areas to improve. The Shalhevet monthly Farbrengen will be an opportunity for all Shalhevet participants to meet and discuss potential outcomes of our learning, explore notions that are being awakened in us through our learning experiences, and enhance our connection to Rav Steinsaltz, his books and his legacy.
