The program is divided into two 8 week semesters. the first semester focuses on topics such as: The Jewish History Timeline, The Jewish Calendar, Miracle of Jewish History, Judaism and the Origins of Christianity & Islam, Anti-Semitism Through Classic Jewish Thought and Jewish Law & Government. Second semester topics are chosen by the teens themselves. The course is open to teens grades 9-12.
