OPTION 1:
Let's Play Jewish Geography – David Scott
Torah, Talmud, Tanach – I can’t keep it all straight! Growing up hearing different stories, we often wonder where they came from. Together we will play Jewish Geography and learn the origins of the greatest Jewish teachings. You will arm yourself with knowledge about our history and learn the difference between Mishnah and Maimonides.

OPTION 2:
Hearing Voices: How and Why Did God Speak to the Prophets – Olga Lara
Were the prophets crazy or courageous when they told people they heard the voice of God? Sometimes the prophets heard a voice, saw a vision, had a dream or were possessed by spirits. This class will explore the roles women and men play as messengers of God in Torah. We will also discuss whether there are modern day “prophets”.
