Jewish Education 30221 - Educating for Character and Teaching Jewish Texts

Institution:

Gratz College

Subject:

Description:

In this course, we attempt to bridge the practical work of teaching Jewish texts and the challenge of fostering moral conversations among the young people we teach. Beginning with a discussion about moral education and about moral development through the life cycle, we will proceed to a discussion about how to work with several different genres of Jewish texts (Bible, rabbinic literature, historical literature, etc.). By the end of the course, students will have familiarity not only with moral theory, but also with its practical application in the realm of curriculum development and work in the classroom.
