Description
TaNaKh presents us with a rich variety of themes and teachings that cover the full spectrum of what it means to be human. This course will provide an exploration of TaNaKh in a unique way by analyzing several pairs of individuals, and comparing their different character traits (middot), behaviors and actions. Topics covered include leadership, parent-child relationships, and making covenants. This course will include careful text study, development of critical thinking skills, and self-reflection. Students will connect the stories we study about human nature in TaNaKh to their own lives.
