Part 1

Introduction: Setting the Scene

Over a 12 year period while living in Manchester, UK, I had the opportunity to teach Contemporary Judaism at one of the Manchester University theological colleges to final year theological students – NTC.

This was an elective 12 week course – [approximately 24 hours of teaching]. The course included synagogue visits; Holocaust Remembrance seminars conducted by rabbis;  visits to the Manchester Jewish Museum; an opportunity to dialogue with a rabbi for a whole day; and one of the highlights was an all day visit to an Orthodox synagogue that included a discussion of Jewish Texts that included the Amidah, Pirkei Avot and the Shema.

Amidah, Pirkei Avot and the Shema – these 3 significant Jewish texts from the Talmud, Jewish Payer Book and Torah are featured in this programme.

Judaism is a living faith and not a relic from the past. Many people are not well  informed when it comes to knowing about modern Judaism. Let the rabbis and Jewish scholars speak for themselves.
