bat, b’nai mitzvah, wedding, death and dying, shalom bayit, Jewish funeral
customs), and Text Study.
Goals: Students will be able to individually chant almost all of the
Saturday morning Torah and Musaf services. Students will have an increased
Hebrew vocabulary and comprehension. Students will have a very basic
understanding of and familiarity with some of the holy books of Judaism.
Students will know the basics of Jewish customs as they relate to common life
cycle events, understanding the practices that Conservative Jews follow and the
meanings behind them. Students will be introduced to text study analysis and
will practice using primary sources (Torah and commentary) to think critically.
