SAJE: Senior Adult Jewish Education
2023 Spring Courses
with Rabbi Molly Karp
All Times are Eastern, all classes meet via Zoom
MONDAYS
The Book of Psalms
This ongoing group reads and discusses
the poetry of the Psalms in English,
exploring how we might connect to it personally.
The Psalms articulate a range of human emotions
that we may experience at one time or another,
including lament and gratitude,
praise for God’s goodness or pleas for help and salvation.
Classes meet 10 Monday morning, 10:00 - 11:00 AM
March 20 & 27, April 3, 10, 17, 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22
Tuition: $400*
TUESDAYS
Applied Jewish Mindfulness
is a Jewish system for personal growth
that can help us to stay calm and aware
in an ever-changing world.
It helps us get closer to our best selves and to each other.
This group provides a supportive environment
in which to explore ourselves and the events in our lives.
No previous knowledge is needed.
Classes meet 10 Tuesday afternoons 2:30 - 4:00 PM:
March 28, April 11, 18, 25, May 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, June 13.
Tuition: $400
Biblical Hebrew II
Biblical Hebrew will meet for 10 sessions,
7:00 - 8:30 PM
and will include 30 minutes of Hebrew Torah study.
Thursday, March 23, 30, April 13, 20, 27, May 4, 18, June 1, 8.
A pdf of the textbook is included with tuition, which is $400.
Basic Hebrew reading skills required.
WEDNESDAYS
The Books of Tobit and Ben Sira
Ben Sira and Tobit, written by proto-Jews
in the Second Temple Period,
were highly regarded for centuries
as part of Jewish literary and cultural tradition,
but were not included in the Hebrew Bible.
Ben Sira offers nuggets of advice, mostly in the form of proverbs.
Tobit's devotion to prayer and Torah values
would have made him appealing to Jews
who had one foot in Jewish life and the other in Hellenistic society.
We will read and discuss selections of these works in English.
Classes will meet 10 Wednesday mornings 10:00 - 11:30 AM,
March 15, 22, 29, April 19, 26, May 3, 10, 17, 24, & 31
Students will need a copy of
the Jewish Annotated Apocrypha by Jonathan Klawans.
No previous knowledge needed.
Tuition: $400.*
