Curriculum

Sample Gemara Suggios

Every sugya is selected to matter: we focus on real-world halachic/hashkafic dilemmas that teach core Gemara skills while relating to business, ethics, speech, and ownership.

The Lost Wedding Ring -.קדושין ב

Under the chuppah, the ring falls into the water. Can the חתן borrow a ring? Use cash? Write a shtar? Explore the hierarchy of kinyanim and halachic intent.

The Conditional Tzaddik – :קדושין מט

‏הרי את מקודשת לי על מנת שאני צדיק והוא רשע גמור. But maybe he had a fleeting thought of teshuva? What counts as real change? Is teshuva a thought or a transformation?

‏The Bus Driver’s Claim - :קדושין נט

עני המהפך בחררה – Does the Bus driver own his route? What happens when two Jews compete in business? Halacha meets entrepreneurship and ethics.

From the Mareh to the Makom

ספר שמואל

In our Immersive Navi track, Tanach comes alive – learning through the land itself. As talmidim learn ספר שמואל, they stand where the stories took place – from שילה to מצפה שמואל הנביא, to עיר דוד – hearing the echoes of the very פסוקים they study.

It’s not just learning about the past – it’s feeling how our history, our leaders, and our emunah still speak to us today.

When you walk the path of Tanach, history doesn’t just inspire you – it touches you.

Hatzalah Elective - Chesed That Changes You
