YESS : Yeshiva Experience Of Sandy Springs
YESS has been launched at the Kehilla in dedication to impart Jewish wisdom in a broad and deep way. The program is divided into 3 components with numerous modules to each component. The three components are: Jewish Knowledge, Jewish Thought and Jewish Action. Within these components we cover a tremendous breadth of Jewish wisdom for both the novice and experienced learner alike.
Class material is presented in a manner that encourages the dedicated student to further his knowledge and fosters a proactive learning environment through different styles of teaching.
MODULE 1 : Chumash-The Book of Genesis
February 23 – April 5th (no class March 8th)
Every Thursday from 7:00-9:00pm.
In this series we will go through the Book of Genesis in 6 weeks. Following modules will address the other four books of the Chumash. We will begin with understanding what is the Torah, what was given on Mount Sinai, what was conveyed in the desert and how do we know the various Midrashic explanations of the Torah. We will then go through the entire story line of Bereishis, understanding some of the depths of events and putting it all into the proper context and time.
