I have rarely seen a group of congregants take to a learning opportunity as they did to the Shalom Hartman Institute DVD series. The students quickly took to each week’s practice of hevruta study, eagerly engaging one another over text study. By the last few weeks they were chomping at the bit to get to their texts. Asked what comes next? I told them, the next series from SHI. We can’t wait!

The Program and the Role of the Rabbi/Educator
The The Hartman Institute Lecture Series on DVD and the accompanying curricular study materials are designed to be used by a rabbi or educator with a group of lay leaders in a weekly or monthly study program. The rabbi/educator serves as the lead teacher, utilizing the materials and lectures as best suited for his/her community, preparing the participants for the lecture by studying the texts and reading the supplementary materials in advance, either in a separate session, or in a shorter 45-minute preparatory session.
Al Rabbanan v’Al Talmidehon....for our teachers and their students and the students of their students. The Hartman DVD series brings students here in our congregations into the lineage of great teachers that is the Shalom Hartman Institute. What a blessing!
