RRC students in good standing are eligible to register for courses at the master’s level. A student interested in a course is responsible to contact the ULS Registrar’s office to ensure that the course is open for enrollment and that the student has satisfied any pre-requisites of the course. It may be necessary in some cases for the student to obtain permission from the course instructor(s). The student is to obtain a course description for the course and assurance of the amount of academic credit awarded. Upon confirmation of the ULS registrar, the student will register the course at RRC ideally three weeks before the start of the course. Tuition will be paid by ULS. Any additional course costs or fees for services by ULS are the responsibility of the student. Upon successful completion of the course, the ULS registrar will submit the student’s final grade to RRC for student credit.
The Binyan Certificate in Jewish Learning and Leadership3
This full semester course solidifies the learning from the first semester and then introduces all the remaining verb forms. By the end of this course, students will: know vocabulary words that appear at least 500 times in the Bible; be able to navigate their way through biblical Hebrew lexica (dictionaries); and will be able to translate beginner and intermediate level biblical narratives.
Course Description : This course is an investigation of midrash as both an interpretive discipline and an imaginative discourse. We will engage in close reading of select passages of Bereshit Rabbah, analyzing the exegesis and the theological and mythological content. Our study of key rabbinic teachings about God’s creation of humanity and the world will serve as a foundation for explicating the nature of rabbinic creativity in the classic rabbinic period, and for creatively engaging midrash in a way that speaks to contemporary experience.
