Sh'liach K'hilah year 3?

[cellio]

Ok, I've just sent my "could someone, like me for instance, run SK 3 at HUC next summer?" query to the program organizer. Now we wait. (It's something like autocratting an event or running a con, right? I think I've got a few clues there.)

My proposal -- for which there seemed to be real momentum that I didn't create myself -- is for a week focusing more on text study. We've learned a lot of good practical skills in the last two years; now let's get a bit deeper into sources. I envision a mix of class types: (1) rabbi-led text study, (2) student-led text study for which assignments would be made in advance (signing up for the program means you commit to taach for an hour, or 45 minutes, or whatever), and (3) rabbi-led courses on related practical skills such as Hebrew, navigating the various types of sources, library skills, understanding talmudic reasoning, teaching, etc. Oh, and (4) lighter stuff to break all of this up (like that luach game did this year).

Could You Run 5K 3 at HUC?

[(Anonymous)]

My mind initially took it as a road race -- I was wondering if it was some strange setup where you run the race three times over the summer. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, got holes in the t-shirt, t-shirt is now part of a quilt.

Seriously, why not?

I think you'd be wonderful. And you'd learn a lot in the process. I bet it's like a con, but also not like one in some important ways.

*giggle* No, I'm not talking about athletics. :-)

I think I'd be capable of running it, if we can work out the logistics. I think the site is important, and there are some things that would be much easier for them to arrange (like getting keys for everyone and managing the money). I'm hoping that if we take the burden of actually coordinating the classes and getting participants and doing the assignments and stuff, they'll be willing to do the stuff that would be hard for me to do. I can hope.
