Talmud Study in Yeshiva High Schools by Rabbis Aharon Lichtenstein & Yehuda Brandes (ISBN 965-7324-08-4; 64 pages) New ATID publication for the new school year... http://www.atid.org/publications/talmud.asp Talmud study in yeshiva high schools creates many difficulties and challenges. ATID is honored to present to the community of educators this engaging debate about how to ameliorate those challenges. Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein and Rabbi Yehuda Brandes, among today's leading teachers of Gemara in Israeland the world, present two very different approaches to the most effective ways to teach Gemara under contemporary circumstances -- including the question of to what degree Gemara should be our curricular focus. As his been the case with other topics ATID has taken on in this series, we do not imagine that either of these two differing policy recommendations will magically solve the very real struggles teachers face, nor do we assume that either side of this debate will be appropriate for all schools. We do believe that these suggestions can serve as a springboard for rigorous deliberation and pedagogical planning in high schools. Each school can develop specific and implementable strategies which will improve the Torah study of the students and teachers. Rabbi Dr. Aharon Lichtenstein is Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shvut. His two-volume collected essays have recently been published as Leaves of Faith (Ktav). Rabbi Dr. Yehuda Brandes heads the Beit Midrash of Beit Morasha. A member of the ATID faculty, Rabbi Brandes was principal of the HimmelfarbYeshivaHigh School in Jerusalem until 1994, and has lectured at the Herzog Teacher's College since 1991.
