Our exciting Masters-level program of academic courses is now in its fourth year. It equips teachers with advanced knowledge and practical skills that focus on Teaching Tanakh in the Diaspora classroom. Program participants who earn 15 TTCP credits can receive a Tanakh Teaching Certificate from Herzog College. The certificate program includes two compulsory courses: “Meaning-Making in Teaching Tanakh ” with Rabbi Reuven Spolter, and “Our Story: The People, Periods and Principles of Tanakh” with Dr. Yosefa Fogel Wruble.
Academic Courses
Students can choose from a menu of asynchronous online courses comprising materials for self-study with questions and discussions, plus a weekly assignment for you to complete, but no tests.
Each full course requires 1.5 hours of study per week over 12-14 weeks and earns 3 TTCP credits. Participants are required to attend one or two Zoom lessons, scheduled for Sundays at 8:00pm Israel time.
