Community Blog A Renewed Partnership
Hebrew College’s Community Education department and IYUN are delighted to announce the second cohort of the Hebrew College-IYUN Teaching Fellowship in Adult Learning. IYUN is a cohort-based Jewish learning experience for adults, modeled on the success of Hillel’s Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF). The Fellowship is made possible through the generous support of the KMD Foundation.
In a dynamic partnership that draws on our unique strengths and shared values, Hebrew College and IYUN are together creating more opportunities to deepen Jewish content and connection, exploring existential questions through the lens of Torah.
“The curriculum for IYUN is as real as it is challenging, a great recipe for fostering long-lasting connection,” said Hebrew College rabbinical student Heather Renetzky. “It is easier to build community when we ourselves are in community and I’m drawn to building and learning with a cohort. I hope that the kindling that the cohort gathers will help fuel warm and vibrant communities across the city (and beyond).”
As this year’s fellows prepare to teach their own classes, they will also engage in their own learning around key concepts foundational to successful Jewish adult learning, from the tachlis (basic) of getting people in the room, to the inspirational, of “making your Torah land.”
Kol HaKavod to the Hebrew College rabbinical students and alumni selected as this year’s fellows. We hope you will consider learning with them this spring. Learn more about their classes below.
