jewish
education course curricula and syllabi
Having
spent just over a decade as a professional Jewish educator, I have written
a number of courses
for
universities, supplementary Jewish high schools, summer camps, and other
institutions. I have begun
placing
the curricula from some of these courses online in response to requests
from teachers and former
students
alike.
As
these materials represent a considerable amount of personal effort, I ask
that if you use them for
your
own teaching, that you indicate my copyright on the syllabus or in some
other suitable way credit
me
for the courses. Teaching is part of my parnassa; it is how
I make my living. So, with great reluctance
to
mix Torah and parnassa, I ask that you honor this request. In addition,
I am available on a consulting
basis
to help implement these courses for supplementary schools, Hebrew high
schools, camps, and
other
institutions. The syllabi collected here have only brief "Teacher's
Notes," not complete Teacher's
Guides.
Please email me for more information
about the courses and my rates for consulting.
If
the links are not active, it means that the syllabi have not yet been uploaded;
you may contact me
to
obtain copies. B'hatzlacha!
