August 5 All day
Course Dates:
August 5 – 16, 2024
Old Testament? Hebrew Bible? TANAKH? What do these three terms have in common? Indeed, do these titles give us any sense of the fact that they refer to the same set of scriptures? Words are important and usually reflect a particular position on something. This two-week study will introduce you to the Old Testament through a different lens, using the works of not only the text by Rabbi Evan Moffic but also writings and interpretations from renowned Jewish scholars, both past and present. Learners will be exposed to Jewish perspectives on the Torah without the requirement of familiarity with Judaism or understanding of Hebrew. With or without formal academic experiences with the scriptures, participants can feel confident of success in the course.
Learners will need to obtain this book: Reading the Old Testament Through Jewish Eyes by Rabbi Evan Moffic
In addition to Blackboard interactions, 2 optional Zoom meetings will be held during the 1st and 2nd week, with learner input. Since the meeting is optional and will address questions from the learners, the meeting will not be recorded.
The course is eligible for 1.0 CEUs.
