In planning them, we have tried to cater for many and varied tastes. We are continuing to offer individual courses, at no cost, to all Jewish University of London students, registered at any of the colleges of the University, who can often take the LSJS courses as part of their degrees in other subjects as outside options. We are planning for new BA and MA degree courses for teachers and community professionals. We provide opportunities for research in Jewish Studies at the doctoral level. Our public lectures are open to the whole community.
Plans are in hand for developing the yeshivah, and for strengthening the semichah programme.
We are pioneering the idea of university course credit for yeshivah study. We have indeed come a long way since Bezalel and Oholiab. To do this, we need your help, your active involvement and participation. This is the source for reciting them in public, with a minyan, as they are a d'var kedushah, a holy matter, like e.g. the Kaddish. This same Gemara is also the source for wearing a Tallit during Selichot, which should be said with a Minyan, because of the Attributes contained in them.
