Sh'liach K'hilah year 3?
Jul. 30th, 2005 11:18 pmOk, 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).
