Educators and adult learners will have the opportunity to learn Hebrew, explore Jewish children's literature or delve into the writings of Elie Wiesel at this year's Eli and Bessie Cohen Summer Institutes.

Building on last year's success, the Institute for Day School Teachers, July 20–25, will again create a Gila Ramras-Rauchcommunity of educators for a dynamic week of study. Harvard's Dr. Vicki Jacobs will present Learning and Literacy; Dr. Gilda Oran, George Washington University, will offer Hagim, Tefillah and Hebrew in the Learner-Centered Classroom and Teaching Hebrew as a Second Language. National Jewish Book Award winner Norman Finkelstein will lead Jewish Children's Literature for Today's Classroom. In collaboration with Facing History and Ourselves, Jan Darsa returns to offer Teaching the Holocaust.

During that same week, Online MA in Jewish Studies students will gather for a residential institute, Authority and Autonomy in Judaism, taught by Hebrew College's Dr. Gila Ramras-Rauch and Dr. Sol Schimmel.

Intensive language courses include Hebrew I and II, Hebrew III and IV, and new this year, Hebrew V and VI, focusing on biblical and rabbinic Hebrew. Secondary school Hebrew language teachers may participate in an intensive seminar, July 6–16, led by faculty from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem—part of a series of Hebrew language workshops offered by NETA and the Shoolman Graduate School of Jewish Education.

Leadership and Legacy: The World of Maimonides, with Rabbi Benjamin Samuels of the Me'ah faculty, will be offered July 7–18, as well as Liturgy of the High Holidays with Hebrew College's Dr. Scott M. Sokol. Mid-summer offerings, July 28–August 8, include The Book of Ecclesiastes taught by Dr. Peter Machinist of Harvard, and Elie Wiesel: The Holocaust, Memory and Jewish Identity, with Dr. Alan Berger, Florida Atlantic University.
