About the Course
Children often struggle in understanding different issues of faith, morals and ethics that crop up in the stories and mitzvot that appear in the Tanakh. Teachers are not always well-enough equipped to deal with their questions in a meaningful and significant way, that speaks to the world in which their students live. This course will equip teachers to answer key pedagogical questions around issues of faith, morals and ethics that arise during the teaching of Tanakh.
