Serious Torah for Serious Learners

In addition to our regular classes this coming Winter Semester, WebYeshiva will be offering a new series of "Matmidim" classes, intended for committed students. 

Four new, daily Gemara classes will be beginning this Winter Semester, which starts October 18th.  Based on a vision for a more serious, yeshiva-like focus, WebYeshiva will be offering both beginners and  advanced classes in the evenings according to North American time zones, and beginners and advanced classes in the evenings according to European and Israeli time zones. 

The Matimidim classes will include both standard classes 3-4 times weekly, as well as private student-teacher tutorials on a rotational basis, with the aim of helping dedicated students to deepen their commitment to Torah learning and to progress in their scholarship. 

Based on the same model, a Matmidim class just for women, in Oral Law, will take place three days a week with additional tutorials. 

We hope that this new model will encourage students to increase their level of commitment to their learning as much as they are able, and to take advantage of the wealth of resources available to them through our technology and outstanding teachers.

Spirituality for Beginners
   
Take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the rich heritage of Jewish learning at a level and pace that's right for you. 


Designed for thinking adults who are interested in finding more meaning in their Judaism, Torah 101 at WebYeshiva uses advanced videoconferencing technology to enable you to learn with outstanding teachers from the ease and comfort of your own computer.

Starting October 13th, we'll be beginning a series on The Spiritual Core of Judaism.  The class will take a deeper spiritual and intellectual quest into the heart of traditional Judaism.  Teacher, Michael Levin, will focus on the "big picture" that many people who are interested in learning about traditional Judaism crave - the spiritual core of the religion that underlies all of the practices, studies, and beliefs.

The class takes place Tuesday nights at 9 PM Eastern time.  For more information, and to register, click here.

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - March 9 - The WebYeshiva
(http://www.webyeshiva.com) is celebrating the official launch today of its blog (http://blog.webyeshiva.org).  The WebYeshiva Blog is an innovative, online center for Torah learning content.   The WebYeshiva Blog offers readers unique and informative perspectives on Torah-related topics, from renowned rabbis and educators in Jerusalem and around the world.

The WebYeshiva Blog presents a variety of posts daily in audio, video, and text format, and features regular columns such as the weekly Parsha, Haftora, Nach, Business Ethics, Aggada, Jewish Philosophy, and more.  Both WebYeshiva students and teachers also make  regular contributions, and WebYeshiva's Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Brovender posts a video Halacha Yomit every day.
 
"I call the blog my daily Torah appetizer," says  WebYeshiva student Joel Nowicki, "as I start my day with reading and listening to the blog."  Joel, who lives in Poland, is able to have access to Torah learning through WebYeshiva and the WebYeshiva Blog in a geographic
location where very little is available.  "I [also] enjoy the Torah sources attached [to the Parsha Podcast] by Rabbi Brovender, which are very helpful, and this is a rare thing in other Torah sites," he says.

The WebYeshiva Blog is a project of WebYeshiva, the first fully-interactive, online yeshiva and midrasha.  WebYeshiva was initiated by Rabbi Chaim Brovender, a veteran Rosh Yeshiva with over forty years of teaching experience.  It makes serious Torah learning accessible to anyone with internet access.  WebYeshiva can be found at http://www.webyeshiva.org
