Gemara

Gemara lessons in Ohr Moshe are designed to help boys experience Gemara as a stimulating and relevant part of their lives. In a world where Gemara study is the cornerstone of Jewish learning and culture, students are engaged to advance in concrete learning skills, are taught by passionate, exciting, and understanding Rabbis, and are given opportunities to create their own relationship with learning through creative, innovative, and effective means.

The mesechtas chosen for study are those that will connect to their lives both directly and as a springboard for engaging classroom discussions.

 

In class, boys are encouraged to consider all opinions, including their own, in order to help them develop life skills for both learning and living.
