SEVEN – Members Teach Members in a Community Learning Experience
This project consists of Seven independent courses. Each course lasts Seven weeks with Seven participants taught by Seven teachers who are volunteers from the community.
Each course is skill oriented, which encourages raising individual’s level of knowledge, understanding and ability. The small groups make it easier for the teacher/facilitator to mould the course to individual personal interests and thus make the participation challenging.
Programme – 2009:
- Passionate for Masorti Judaism
- A page of Mishnah
- Jewish Parenting
- Torah L’am (Torah for everyone)
- Hebrew Reading: Navigating the Shabbat morning service
- Home rituals for Shabbat
Each organization could introduce or adapt such a programme. Perhaps a ‘One’, ‘Two’, ‘Three’, or ‘Four’ programme for smaller organizations. For example:
- One to One – Hevruta-style Learning
- One to Two – A couple who want to develop their home rituals for Shabbat
- One to three – A family education programme
- One to four – This would involve four teachers and 10 students with differing needs
