Accessing Authentic Sources

She’arim is based on the foundation of text-based learning.  In addition to a full range of classes in topics such as Chumash, interpersonal relationships, musar,prayer, and Jewish law,  students have the opportunity to discover the depth and breadth of Torah through learning the text, chevruta style.

Chevruta-learning pairs up two students of similar abilities, allowing them to assist each other to build skills. Our students prepare the texts for a lecture that follows under the supervision of  the course instructor. Tutors assist the study pairs and are available to answer questions during this time. Information which is gleaned from the source provides a richer understanding and appreciation for the subject matter. Students are encouraged to find appropriate levels based on their background and skills, and to reassess periodically whether they are ready for the challenge of the next level.
