Nesiya: Israel Programs for Israeli and American Teens
Creative Jewish Text Study

Study Guides

NEW! Passover 5768 Study Guide:

> Pesach 2008 - Ovdim & Bnei Chorin: Those Who Serve and People of Freedom

The study of Jewish texts – both traditional and contemporary – is a central component in all Nesiya programs. Through creative study, participants explore the relevance of modern and traditional texts through dialogue, chevruta and small group study, storytelling, theater improv, and other creative activities. Rather than offering "right" answers, approaches, or conclusions, Nesiya encourages participants to keep their minds open to new possibilities, interpretations, and meanings for their own lives.

In 2004, Nesiya began sending holiday-related study guides to alumni and friends, in order to expand and invigorate our community of learning. If you are interested in receiving these study guides, please send an email including your mailing address and email to info@nesiya.org.

We invite you to share in our learning community through the following study guides:

> Pesach 2008 - Those Who Serve and People of Freedom

> Pesach 2007 - From Memory to Action

> Pesach 2006 - The Tradition of Questioning and the Questioning of Tradition

> Pesach 2005 - Dayenu: Gifts of Gratitude

> Pesach 2004 - Anger, Wrath, Love: Our Relationships with Other Nations

> Rosh Hashanah 2007 - Shmitah: A Year Without Givers or Receivers

> Rosh Hashanah 2006 - The World was Created for Me

> Rosh Hashanah 2005 - Judgment and Creation

> Rosh Hashanah 2004 - A Time for Listening

> Hanukkah 2005 - Becoming a Light

> פסח 2007 - מזיכרון למעשה

> ראש השנה 2007 - שמיטה: שנה בלי נותנים או מקבלים

> ראש השנה 2006 - בשבילי נברא העולם

After Nesiya, I realized that it's really not about getting the answers, it's not about having definite opinions, but it's about asking the questions and the process of discovery.
