Vision
The Matanel-BINA Learning for Leaders Program aims to give Israeli nonprofit professionals the tools to integrate Jewish text, tradition, ritual, and culture into their work in a way that is pluralistic, open, rooted and relevant. The program aims to reach professionals who have the interest, but not the background, to enrich their work in this way.
Activity
The Matanel-BINA Learning for Leaders Program is a professional development series for Israeli nonprofit professionals who are looking to enrich their professional work by integrating Jewish knowledge, culture, and traditions in ways that are pluralistic, open, rooted, and relevant.
Participants will take part in 10 sessions in which they will study different texts and sources and learn how to combine them into a cohesive lesson/study session plan. We will introduce many different aspects and perspectives as well as diverse media, written texts, poetry, music, and film. The sessions will provide an opportunity for participants to explore possibilities of utilizing Jewish texts within their different professional fields. Through this course they will develop a comfort, confidence, and competency in integrating Jewish text into their leadership.
At the end of the program, participants will create source sheets, articles, and learning materials that will be professionally edited, designed, and printed in a book. Through this course they will develop a comfort, confidence, and competency in integrating Jewish text into their leadership.
