Talmud Torah Tuesday
Talmud Torah Tuesdays give students the opportunity to build on their core Jewish knowledge through a wide variety of Judaics electives. Attendance is required on TTT nights for everyone enrolled in Tamid. While we understand that other obligations compete for the very limited time in a teen’s schedule, we would like for them to show a concerted effort to be engaged with our post-B’nai Mitzvah congregational community by prioritizing TTT weeks. This allows our teen community to have critical mass at least once per month, which creates ruach (spirit), cohesion, relationships, and a venue for communicating upcoming opportunities.
Judaics electives: Taught by members of the clergy and staff, electives are a creative and fun way to dive into a wide variety of Jewish topics. Some past electives have been: Wilderness Narratives in the Book of Numbers, Who Was Bob Dylan, Jewish Monsters, Gender in the Torah, Judaism and Star Trek, and more! Students can choose a number of electives throughout the year. This allows for deep and wide-ranging discussions across ages and experiences.
