This year will mark to our return to a full week of programming from Monday, July 29 to Sunday, August 4.
For further information, contact the Course Committee at courses@havurah.org.
- Course proposals can cover any Jewish subjects or themes: religious life, spirituality, contemporary issues, history, literature, art, music, personal growth, or whatever you dream up.
- Courses will be selected reflecting a balance of styles: text study, crafts, movement, creative writing, and so on.
- The Torah portion for our week together will be Matot-Masei, so we are particularly interested courses on Numbers 30:2-36:13 or on Tribes and Travels—however you define those terms.
- The Course Committee aims to assemble a teaching roster that is diverse in background, approaches, and experience with Summer Institute.
- Courses will meet for 90 minutes in either the morning or the afternoon on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Classes are generally capped at 20 students.
