Students
Students are college age and up, men and women, rabbis and laypersons. They study with the New School because they want to dig more deeply into the Hebrew writings of the Tanakh and the writings of Chazal found in Midrash and Mishnah. We are the only school that focuses exclusively on these writings and make courses accessible live via the internet.

Our courses are open to adults who have taken a year of formal Biblical Hebrew study or the equivalent. This opens our classes to a rich variety of students and results in dynamic study sessions. Under the direction of academically and spiritually qualified teachers, the class explores the language and thoughts of the passage. Working together, everyone participates and everyone learns.
NEW PROGRAM

FOR THOSE WHO KNOW THE ALEPH-BET AND CAN SOUND OUT HEBREW WORDS: 

We are developing classes for those whose Hebrew skills have not reached the level required for our regular offerings. Classes will consist of live, online sessions in the areas of the Tanakh, midrash, or Mishnah, with a focus on (1) key Hebrew words that express the central messages in the text, and (2) relevance of the text for Messianic Jewish life today.

If you are interested and would like us to keep to informed about our plans, please fill out a Contact Form and we'll be in touch.

 

Program

The New School program consists of courses, chevruta study, and tutorials. Students may take individual courses or engage regular study.

New School courses and tutorials are held in online, interactive sessions that focus on the serious study of key passages of the Bible and our tradition. We read each passage closely in order to uncover its inner workings and nuances. This is not just an intellectual activity; with able teachers and motivated students, this approach opens up the spiritual dynamics of these writings in unexpected ways.

The New School for Jewish Studies is an online school offering short- and long-term study of the Hebrew writings of the Tanakh and Chazal, the sages of early Judaism.

We are driven by a vision of a Messianic Judaism in which learning is a central practice that is born out of devotion to God and seen as a means of personal and community transformation. The New School contributes to the realization of that vision by promoting a renaissance of Hebrew text study in individual courses and long-term study of the Tanakh and the writings of Chazal.

 

Core Values 

 

Our Mission is fleshed out in a series of eight Core Values that inform our sense of God's purposes for sacred learning and the value we place on those who are involved in the learning process. Everyone at the New School is committed to:

 

1. LEARNING THAT IS BORN OUT OF DEVOTION TO GOD

Learning is a lifelong practice that is born out of devotion to the One who gave Israel the Torah and imparts his life through Yeshua by the gift of his Spirit.

2. TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING

Learning is not only a sacred obligation and a joyous experience; it is a spiritual practice that transforms the way we think, feel, and act.
