Sulam Yaakov 

Integrating Torah.

Sulam Yaakov, the Nachlaot Community Beit Midrash for Leadership Development:

2012-2013 core topic: The Meaning of Money

A dedicated journey of the mind and the soul into the halachic, social and spiritual nature of ownership, poverty and wealth.

In The Meaning of Money, the student will achieve a significant knowledge of the laws of money and their roots, and be able to articulate a broad and deep appreciation of their meaning.

• In The Meaning of Money you will engage in a significant study of the Torah’s treatment of ownership and currency and develop a broad and deep appreciation of their meaning.
• You will encounter and explore the personal, social, and spiritual dimensions of Money, examining your own beliefs and understandings in the context of the spectrum of traditional sources.
• You will experience a series of field trips, encounters, and experiential programs designed to help you better understand how issues like wealth, poverty, debt, and economics are relevant to Torah leadership and to living a meaningful Jewish life.

The Meaning of Money is intended for intermediate and advanced students who are serious and motivated, and are looking to share in a process that is both personally profound and firmly rooted in learning.
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 to forty hours a week to learning.
