Dear Class,
We are looking forward to meeting you in our first full class Zoom on Tuesday 3 November at 17:30! By Monday night, please do the following:
-
Read the response from your penpal. You will find it in the comments section, where you originally submitted your own letter.
-
Write back to your penpal here, in the assignment called “Penpal response.” Be sure to answer their questions.
-
Show us where you live on this class map (click on the plus + sign at the bottom on the right and write the name of your town/city. Then click on post)
-
Read this short text about names from the Midrash Tanchuma, and answer the questions. The Midrash Tanchuma is a traditional Jewish collection of commentaries and legal discussions that dates to the years 500-800 of the Common Era.
-
Remember to check that your camera and microphone work so that you will be able to participate fully in our class session. Please join using a computer, not a phone.
We look forward to learning with you this year!
Your instructors,
Jen Sundick, Efi Weinberger, Karen Preis-Hirschberg, Manal Yazbak Abu Ahmad
