11th and 12th Grade courses
Fall 2009 - "TalkSpace Israel"
We would like to invite all 11th and 12th graders to participate in a year-long Midrasha seminar “TalkSpace Israel” led by Rabbi Michael Goldman and Dr. Jonathan Weiler. Please find registration forms attached.
Rabbi Goldman is the Rabbi of Duke Hillel and a long-time Midrasha teacher. Dr. Weiler is a professor of International Studies at UNC. Together they will facilitate a “no-agenda” seminar that will help participants deepen their knowledge of Israeli politics, culture, history and religion, and articulate their relationship with Israel, no matter where they stand on any of the issues.
The seminar will also include guest speakers, films and two trip opportunities – the L’taken Social Justice Seminar in Washington DC and and end-of-year trip to New York City. Seminar participants with regular attendance will receive trip subsidies.
The class sessions will regularly meet Sunday evenings at Midrasha in the Judea Reform Education Building from 5:30-7:30pm. Dinner is also available at 5pm. Our first session will be on September 13 with sessions on:
