Some people find their passion in GEMARA, while many find their passion in disciplines like TANACH, HALACHA and MACHSHAVA (Jewish Philosophy). To help you find your passion, we offer a diversified array of courses in a broad curriculum of Torah disciplines. With a textual emphasis focused on developing independent learning skills, shiurim do not only impart the subject matter, they give you the tools with which to follow your passion throughout your life.
