Lech Lecha “Go into Yourself”
and delve deeper into Torah during
Midreshet B’erot Bat Ayin’s Winter Session
January 1st - March 8th

During our Winter 2012 session you will have the opportunity to study with highly acclaimed teachers. Through our in-depth textual study of Parshat Lech Lecha with Rebbetzin Chana Bracha, you can travel back in time into Avraham and Sara’s shoes. As we come closer to Purim, the learning will shift into a thorough examination of Megillat Esther where you’ll reveal the miracles of Purim and gain insight into the role of disguise of the various characters in the megillah! Tune into the Torah’s practical implications today, as you express your creativity, incorporating drama into the lessons, in order to expand your grasp on the textual studies. The Rebbetzin also gives exciting lessons on Women in the Bible where you can get inspired by the lives of our Biblical role-models. Study the entire Book of Shemuel with our talented Navi teacher in our twice weekly shiur. Learn the trials and triumphs that our leader David Hamelech overcame during the textual analysis of Sefer Shemuel.

Beyond a well rounded exposure to Torah texts and halacha there is the opportunity to engage your entire being through our weekly meditative movement with Esther Elfassi and collect herbs while learning about their Torah and medicinal properties in the Rebbetzin’s herbal workshop. We also offer special carpentry & landscaping classes. Become empowered and feel like you can accomplish any task that comes your way in life as you use raw wood products to make beautiful objects for the B’erot campus.

B’erot’s creative edge is truly unique. Develop aspects of your inner self with Rabbi Avraham Chira as you process all of the weeks Torah teachings during our weekly spiritual writing workshop. Reflect on what you’ve learned, internalize the teachings and outwardly express these concepts on paper.

For those advanced students who speak and understand Hebrew, we’ve expanded our schedule to include two Hebrew classes. You’ll be inspired by the teachings from Emuna Daphna Gafni Levanon on “B’nei Yissachar” and “Lekuti Mahoran”.

Renew yourself and deepen your Emunah in one of our most dynamic classes with Rav Avraham Itzkovitz. Discuss the purpose of creation, Free Choice, angels, dreams, astrology, the World to Come and more… Enjoy Rabbi Benarroch’s famous class on the Weekly Torah Portion, and expand and fine-tune your knowledge of Jewish Law as you learn practical halachot of Shabbat, the Jewish holidays, the Laws of the Land and more with knowledgeable Rabbi Mechael Siegelbaum.

Various mini-programs & Shabbatonim accompany the regular schedule. Learn how to run your own Tu B’Shevat Seder at our Rosh Chodesh Shevat Grow & Let Grow seminar January 25th. Rabbi Lazer Brody caps off Rosh Chodesh Shevat with a shuir titled “Like a Tree in the Field”. Join in and experience a B’erot interactive Tu B’Shevat seder like no other as the we share the deep insights about the kabbalistic Tu B’Shevat Seder and medicinal and mystical properties of each of the holy fruits. Lastly, disguise yourself and discover how the outer garments are an expression of the inner-self at our special Purim Party. Join in with your own shtick as we perform for one another and participate in all the mitzvoth of the holiday!
