Apply for the 2011 Summer Beit Midrash
The Center for Modern Torah Leadership is now accepting applications for its 2011 Summer Beit Midrash.
Fellows include men and women from leading universities, yeshivot, and seminaries with advanced textual skills and a passionate commitment to learning Torah in an environment that welcomes the moral challenges of modernity as spiritual opportunities and sees recognition of each human beings as a Divine Image as a fundamental assumption and telos of Torah study.
The Summer Beit Midrash is an intense and exhilarating learning program that allows Fellows to pursue compelling questions with intellectual rigor and ethical integrity in the framework of a warm and challenging Orthodox community, and to experience themselves as active contributors to the halakhic conversation.
This year’s seminar, our fourteenth, will center on the theme “Judaism and Art; towards a Halakhic evaluation of Beauty.” It will run from July 5 – August 13 at Young Israel of Sharon.
Stipends and transportation subsidies are available for qualified participants on a rolling admissions basis. The application and other information can be found here: link. For further information, contact Anne Sendor, Program Director Center for Modern Torah Leadership.
