Studies
In comprehensive terms, the texts are studied the way they were written
explaining then thoroughly every single element contained in the reading
in order to avoid “studying by heart”.
The learning process comprise the
following steps:
- Punctuation:
the reading of the Torah must be exact. In order to achieve this goal,
punctuation is explained or strengthened, depending on each case, in a
most practical and dynamic way. This step allows to be able to read the
texts correctly.
-. Symbols (Teamei Hamikra): the
symbols are explained thouroughly, beginning from their task and moving on
to their melody.
-. Contents:
the understanding of the contents of the texts are of extremely importance
due to the fact that the meaning of a Bar Mitzvah makes sense when what’s
being done is understood.
-. Analysis: the texts were
written thousands of years ago. Therefore, they are enriched by every
single Jewish person who enlightens them with his / her own wisdom and
joins himself / herself to the millenary legacy of the Jewish People. Each
Bar / Bat Mitzvah is invited to make an individual analysis of the texts
guided by Martin Alfie and carrying on a modern interdisciplinary
connection and learning, at the same time, of the millenary legacy.
-. Speach (Drasha): the last stage
of the learning process deals with the writing of a speech (Drasha) in
order to express each Bar / Bat Mitzvah’s wisdom.
-.
Acknowledgements: having the
skill and capacity of expressiveness is of an extremely importance. In
that sense, the Bnot and Bnei Mitzvah are guided on being able to express
their feelings about their beloved ones in order for the message, as well
as the speech, to get through clearly to its
interlocutor. |
