The Judaic Studies Program(JSP)
The JSP is designed for the serious student with little or no background in Hebrew language and textual study. The high teacher-to-student ratio ensures each student personal attention. An intensive Ulpan (Hebrew language learning program) is combined with a full curriculum in Jewish Philosophy, Chumash (Bible), Gemara (Talmud), Jewish Mysticism, Halacha (Jewish Law), Chassidism and Jewish History.
The Yeshiva Program
The Yeshiva program emphasizes advanced study of the Gemara (Talmud) and Jewish Law as well as critical, in-depth analysis of their supporting texts and commentaries. Students are instilled with independent study skills, preparing them to eventually teach/study on their own.
There are several levels for each course of Talmud, Mishna, Halacha, Chassidut, and Classical Hebrew, among others. The time honored practice of learning with one's chavruta (study partner) is an integral part of the Yeshiva Program and complements the lectures.
