ART250 -- Faces, Places, and Spaces of Your Jewish Journey Instructor: TBD What’s the story of your Jewish journey? Birth, school, camp, bar/bat mitzvah, holidays, family history and traditions? We will be exploring the highlights of your personal Jewish story through scrapbooking, text, stories, and art. Students will leave the class with a unique scrapbook they create over the course of the semester that illustrates their Jewish journey—of the past, present, and future. ART315 -- This Means War: Jewish (and Non Jewish) Artists' Reactions to WWII Instructor: Max Werber When WWII was on the horizon many modern European artists welcomed the oncoming conflict as the end of an era and the beginning of a glorious new order. The carnage that they met with in the trenches disillusioned some and unhinged others. Shortly thereafter, when WWII arrived with a bang, American artists (including exiles and emigrates from Europe) were less naive about the war and the "benefits" it would bring. This class chronicles American artists' responses to a world at war in what would become the atomic age. If art represents the best humanity has to offer what could artists say or do in the face of the worst the world has seen? This is an art and history course. While art itself may be timeless there are times when history and art seem to march together as one. This was one of those times. __________________________________________________________________________ Period 2 ART 260 -- The Biblical Studio: A Visual Arts Workshop Inspired by Jewish Sources Instructor: TBD “Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision – it is the seeing of things that makes it so.” —Charles W. Hawthorne, New England painter, early 20th century In this hands-on workshop we will use drawing as a tool for exploring our senses of sight and touch and for examining our perceptions of the world we live in. In each session, we will focus on specific techniques and visual concepts, such as composition, color, form, movement and texture. We will observe still life, landscape and the human figure, and experiment with pencil, charcoal and ink. We will view and engage in the study of great masterpieces of ancient and contemporary art, while using the characters and themes of biblical stories as a springboard for our own creative work. During the course, each student will keep a sketchbook and create an original body of work. No previous experience with visual arts is required. ART340 -- Modern Object/Sacred Sculpture; Sacred Object/Modern Sculpture Instructor: Max Werber This is a sculpture class. Some of the words that can be used to describe what we will be doing are: bending, folding, cutting, riveting, standing, leaning, hanging, drilling, stapling, etc. The objects we make will be made using modern methods. There is no clary involved and no "lost wax method." We will leave those things to history and to people like Benvenuto Cellini. The measurements we use in this class, however, will be taken from the Bible; a "short," or Royal cubit, for example, or a hand breath or a finger breath, etc. And the objects we make will get their beginnings, either in materials or ideas, from the instruments used in the Tabernacle and the Temple. Put the two together and you have a modern object and a sacred sculpture. __________________________________________________________________________ Period 3 ART 260 -- The Biblical Studio: A Visual Arts Workshop Inspired by Jewish Sources Instructor: TBD “Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision – it is the seeing of things that makes it so.” —Charles W.

Were you named after someone in your family, or maybe someone in the Torah? This course will utilize a variety of art techniques to explore your Hebrew name, what it means and how it relates to your identity. We’ll play with collage, drawing, painting, paper cutting and mixed media to visually explore your Hebrew name. Some family research and text-based study will be required to learn more about your name, but most of the course will be direct art-making.

Tuesday Nights at Hebrew College Fall 2014-15 All programs take place from 6:30-8:20 pm at the Hebrew College campus Alternate dates, times, and locations can be arranged for groups of 6 or more. Intensive Hebrew For students who wish to take Hebrew for three hours per week, we are pleased to offer, for the fourth straight year, our Hebrew immersion Tuesday evening program for one hour and fifty minutes. Our Hebrew curriculum is based on the proficiency approach to teaching Hebrew, a nationally-recognized, cutting-edge approach to teaching foreign language. The proficiency approach emphasizes that each school needs to create its own curriculum based on the students' needs and interests, and that students need to be consistently evaluated in how they function with the language and not what they know about the language. Utilizing this approach, we have developed various thematic units for all levels (Novice, Intermediate and Advanced) to maximize the learning in the class and achieve Hebrew language fluency. The emphasis in the class will be on providing real life situations to students where they need to use their Hebrew in all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) through various interactive activities and use of technology. Students will be grouped into appropriate levels and cohorts for this part of their Hebrew program, and will take this option in addition to the one period of Hebrew they will take on Sunday mornings. For more information about the program please contact Mira Angrist, Prozdor’s Hebrew Coordinator, at mangrist@hebrewcollege.edu or 617-559-8814. Begins September 9, meets weekly until mid-May. Certificate in Social Justice Leadership Join us for an eight-week exploration of where our Jewish values and our commitment to social justice intersect. We'll examine the role of teens in changing the world, and what Jews in particular have done and are doing to make our communities stronger, more resilient, and thriving. We'll learn with experts in the field as guest teachers use multimedia to inquire about what's happening in Boston and beyond, and overall have an incredible experience together. At the end of the eight weeks you will receive a Certificate from Hebrew College in Jewish Social Justice Leadership--the only one of its kind. Taught by Emilia Diamant, Director of Programming Classes begin on September 16 Teen Writing Center Fundamentals of Journalism and News Writing Full-year, but students may elect to take one semester only Taught by Charlie Radin, former Boston Globe Bureau Chief in Jerusalem and Tokyo
The internet has given everyone the opportunity for their voice to be heard. Your music, your writing, your videos, and your creativity, once posted, can be seen by anyone with a internet connection… so why not take a chance and put yourself out there? Students in this course will be guided through the process of content creation, editing, and web management. Taught by Dan Brosgol, Director of Prozdor and blogger for JewishBoston.com, The Bedford Citizen, and InterfaithFamily.com, and Leah Goldstein, Prozdor Office Coordinator, blogger, and social media maven. So You Want To Be An Author: Children’s Book Writing Like to write and/or illustrate? Have you dreamed of being a published author? Can you remember the Jewish stories you enjoyed most when you were younger? Do you still browse through the children’s section at the library or book store? Do you have an active mind? How about a good ear for dialogue? Have you ever written stories? Have you ever made up bedtime stories or car-trip stories to entertain yourself? Have you thought you'd like to write for kids, but not known where to start? Would you like to create a children’s Jewish picture book in one year? (Artistic talent not required.) If you answered "Yes” or "Maybe" to several of these questions, then this unique year-long workshop is for you. We will deal with trends in children's literature; what makes a best seller and planning and researching your writing project; setting a timetable and goals; proven writing techniques; overcoming writer's block; ways to generate ideas; drafting, revising, proofreading, and editing your work; exercises for building your writing skills. We will explore the business end of publishing; what editors want; proper submission format; preparing query and cover letters; dealing with rejection; and identifying potential publishers. Throughout the year, guest writers, editors and illustrators will share their experiences with our group. Taught by Norm Finkelstein, the author of eighteen books and the recipient of the Golden Kite Award and two National Jewish Book Awards. He was editor of the Jewish Publication Society’s Guides to… series including the JPS Guide to Children’s Jewish Literature. Rising Voices Fellowship Interested female or female-identified writers should also consider applying for the Rising Voice Fellowship that Prozdor offers in conjunction with the Jewish Women’s Archive. The fellowship is open to 10th and 11th graders who have a passion for writing, a demonstrated concern for current and historic events, a commitment to improving their writing skills, and a strong interest in Judaism—particularly as it relates to issues of gender and equality. Through a selective application process, JWA and Prozdor will choose up to twelve teens from across the country. These fellows will write 8–12 posts for Jewesses with Attitude, the Jewish Women's Archive blog. For more information on Rising Voices, please contact Emilia Diamant. Arts Studio In the fall semester, we will be offering a double-period intensive Arts Studio that will allow students to explore three different areas of artistic and creative expression: textiles, jewelry-making, and woodprinting. Each four-week module will be taught by local expert artists at will meet at Hebrew College. Students may choose one, two, or all three of the modules. No experience September-October: Jewish Narrative in Woodcut and Scratch Board with Susan Axe Illustrate a Jewish story that speaks to you using the wonderful techniques of woodcut and scratch board. In this workshop, you will choose one or more images from a story from the Bible, Jewish folklore or your own experience to illustrate. You will learn to "translate" the image(s) into the black and white language of woodcut or scratch board depending on your style and preference. No experience necessary. Students will learn the safe and effective use of woodcut tools and techniques of printmaking and scratch board art. October-November: Jewelry-Making with Laura Mandel Description forthcoming November-December: Textiles with Sarah Resnick Description forthcoming Wednesday Evenings at Temple Emunah, Lexington Period One HIST280-W -- From Sea to Shining Sea: Jewish Communities in the United States Instructor: Daniel Parmer There are approximately 7 million Jews living in the United States today. But nearly 90% of them live in less than 40 communities in the entire country! In this course, students will explore the establishment of Jewish communities across the country. Why do Jews choose to live in just a few communities? Why urban cities instead of rural towns? How did they get there and why do they remain? Each week will be devoted to a different community. Students will explore the similarities and differences of Jews across our country (do Jews on the west coast love NY bagels as much as Jews on the east coast?). We will also explore the other 10% that choose to live in small communities. ISR290-W – Krav Maga Instructor: Yigal Pe’eri Krav Maga is the Israeli self-defense method designed for face-to-face combat. We learn how to react to an attack while using the aggressor energy and power against him. Mostly we will train our brain in staying calm in front of any emergency situation. ART315-W -- This Means War: Jewish (and Non Jewish) Artists' Reactions to WWII Instructor: Max Werber When WWII was on the horizon many modern European artists welcomed the oncoming conflict as the end of an era and the beginning of a glorious new order.

While art itself may be timeless there are times when history and art seem to march together as one. This was one of those times. Period Two HIST288-W -- A Chosen People? Instructor: Daniel Parmer You've probably heard that Jews are "The Chosen People." But chosen for what? And is there any truth to this? In this class we'll explore the origins of "chosen-ness," the consequences of this perception (good and bad), and look at what modern science can tell us. Each week we will focus on the biography of Jews who have achieved fame to understand why such a small group has such a disproportionate impact on this world. ISR 311-W –- The Arab-Israeli Conflict Instructor: Yigal Peeri Students will establish through history and data, an understanding of the Jewish peoples struggle, to establish Jewish national independence and the right to exist. To this end, we shall introduce the students with the problem, in all its complexity, including all points of view. Students will gain tools in this class that will help them to articulate in an intelligent manner their views on the conflict. ART340-W -- Modern Object/Sacred Sculpture; Sacred Object/Modern Sculpture Instructor: Max Werber This is a sculpture class.
