How does it work?
There is a Jewish Learning requirement
as part of the Fellowship. It's such a positive element of the fellowship, because it provides additional Jewish self-exploration,
outside the job. There are several ways of completing this requirement: Individual study; taking a class offered at the university; learning with a partner;
attending a class offered in the community; or participating in online or phone learning.
It is important to study a topic that is interesting to you, and subjects you want to learn more about. Remember that you are not restricted to what you choose and can switch at any time.
Ooops, I never really did any Jewish learning. It was never really mentioned to me and never really brought up. So, as long as no one else cared about it, why should I?
Suggestions for next year:
http://www.partnersintorah.org - is
a telephone partnership that is free and you choose the learning.

- the website for UTs Religious Studies courses. Click on both lower and upper
division classes.
http://www.myjewishlearning.com
even though I personally never did myjewishlearning.com,
I think I still like the site.
