Tanach: Prophets and Leadership

What type of leader would step into the breach left by the
death of Moses? Priests, judges, kings and prophets
appeared. Who would unite the people? Who would lead
them in battle? What qualities of leadership did judges and
early kings possess? What were their faults? What set the
prophets of Israel apart? What were the decisive moments
in their lives? Who would preserve the Covenant between
God and Israel?
Rabbinics: Mishneh Torah*

Is gossip ever permitted? Is chicken really meat? When
must we listen to the words of a prophet? We will have the
opportunity to ask these questions and many more as we
explore the teachings of one of Judaism's greatest sages,
Rabbi Moses Maimonides (Rambam), in his epic work, the
Mishneh Torah.
History: The Zionist Idea*

What is Zionism? How did atheist revolutionaries and
Orthodox rabbis, bankers and refugees, visionaries and
hard-nosed realists, turn Zionist dreams into a Jewish
State? How do their differing views of Zionism, and the
choices they made along the way, impact the conflicts and
challenges facing Israel today?
History: American Jewish History*

Between 1881 and 1924, millions of Jews streamed into
America. What brought them here and what did they leave
behind? How did life in America change Jewish self
perception and the role of Judaism in their lives? Why did
the large-scale immigration end? Find out the answer to
these and other questions about this great change in
Jewish life.
Grade 10
Siddur: Festivals*

Why are Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot, the pilgrimage
festivals of the Jewish year, called the "seasons of our
joy"? What changes are made in services on these and
other holidays? What prayers and rituals show our
elemental link to the Land of Israel? How do the Shalosh
Regalim focus on our redemption from slavery, the
responsibilities of living with the Law, and the fragility of
our individual existence in a fixed natural order?
