Seeking applicants for this rigorous learning opportunity for queer and trans rabbis and educators working in Jewish communities!

The Pedagogy Chaburah nurtures those who are seeking to expand their pedagogical toolkits to include SVARA’s empowering (and traditionally radical) approach to teaching Talmud.

This cohort program will include learning in SVARA’s method, sessions on pedagogy and practical skill-building, and a practicum for participants to practice-teach their own experimental course utilizing elements of SVARA’s methodology.

The Pedagogy Chaburah will run from November 2024 through June 2025 and includes a weekly commitment of approximately three hours of learning (synchronous shiur on Zoom, readings, independently scheduled chevruta, and practice teaching).

Please complete and submit your application form today. We’ll be reviewing applications on a rolling basis, with a goal of finalizing the cohort by July 1st. We’re so excited to learn with you!
