Sulam Yaakov It’s not just for Smicha anymore
Sulam Yaakov, the Nachlaot Community Beit Midrash for Leadership Development is excited to announce this coming year’s focus of study:
A Call To Prayer
An in-depth investigation of the classical sources and the inner resources of Jewish prayer.
In A Call to Prayer, the student will achieve a significant knowledge of the laws of prayer and their roots, and be able to articulate a broad and deep appreciation of their meaning.
He will encounter and explore the theological and mystical sides of Jewish Prayer, discovering his own beliefs and understandings in the context of the spectrum of traditional approaches.
He will experience a selection of practices and exercises in tefillah, a refinement in personal avodah, and an opening up of new options in communal prayer.
A Call to Prayer is intended for intermediate and advanced students who are serious and motivated, and are looking to share in a process which reaches for the heavens while staying firmly planted on the ground.
Sulam Yaakov also offers a two year Smicha track in addition to the year’s focus of study.
Sulam Yaakov is a tuition based program designed for working men who are able to devote four hours each morning to learning.
