There is a Jewish Learning requirement as part of the Fellowship. It's such a positive element of the fellowship, because it provides additional Jewish self-exploration, outside the job.  There are several ways of completing this requirement:  Individual study; taking a class offered at the university; learning with a partner; attending a class offered in the community; or participating in online or phone learning.  It is important to study a topic that is interesting to you, and subjects you want to learn more about.  Remember that you are not restricted to what you choose and can switch at any time.  

http://www.partnersintorah.org - is a telephone partnership that is free and you choose the learning.

Suggestions for next year:

Staci enjoyed the class that she took from the university, so that might be interesting; the only problem is that classes are regularly scheduled (2-3 times a week) so there is limited flexibility. Studying with a partner is a great way to build friendships and feel more connected to the community.   Study weekly parsha, Jewish ethics, or if you don't know much about Israel, that is always a great topic.  Just have fun with it!!!
