CLAL Learning Space

Welcome to the CLAL Learning Space where you can participate in CLAL's on-line seminars for rabbis. Each seminar has been developed to to assist you in your endeavor to enhance the quality of Jewish life. Each seminar also reflects CLAL's commitment to denominational pluralism. 

 

      Kavannah for Living Seminar

-- Rabbi Daniel Brenner, of CLAL, led this 12 unit seminar on rituals -- old and new -- for deepening daily life. Our thinking was this: While there are numerous resources for the holiday cycle and life cycle, the weekday gets short shrift when it comes to Jewish resources. Our goal was to create such a resource for the weekday, and to do so in a way that was pluralist in form and content so that it could be used by all Jews, across the denominational lines. This seminar was inspired by the work of Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi.

 

The CLAL Tefilla Colloquium

-- Professor Reuven Kimelman of Brandeis University led this 18 unit colloquium on tefilla that employed a literary approach to deepen the experience of the liturgy for rabbis and congregants.  Professor Kimelman focused intensively on the Ashrei, Amidah and Shema. The course archive is a great resource for us all. Click on the Tefilla Colloquium link to access this treasure trove.
