It’s Torah, It’s Telelphone, and It’s Fabulous
Dr. Zvi Bellin, the young and wise teacher, probably known by most for his teaching and work at Nehirim programs, is offering a teleclass this fall on Queer PsychoSpiritual Tele-Midrash.
Here’s how his site describes it:
Engage in an intimate community experience that fosters personal growth on your life path. Encounter sacred Hebrew texts with depth and reflection to learn about yourself, your world, and your relationship with the Divine. The tele-midrash will meet via conference call twice a month to review and discuss a pre-determined text. In addition to the full community call, participants will be paired into spirit buddies to learn together via specified guiding questions that relate to the texts. Participants will also be offered a one-on-one session with the tele-midrash facilitator to help tailor the program to their individual needs.
There are only ten spots and I imagine with his network and reputation they’ll fill up quickly. But go check it out and maybe you can get in on the phone action. You know you want to!
If you’ve taken a class with Zvi in person or on the phone let us know what you thought in the comments…

it’s a great class! Very warm and inviting, and I learned a lot. I finished each session with a huge smile on my face, and often by jumping excitedly around my kitchen!

I was in Zvi’s Telemidrash class this spring and it was an incredible experience. I was nervous that as a Jewish text novice, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with those in our group who had gone to Jewish Day School. But Zvi was able to ensure that everyone found meaning in and had access to the text. I looked forward to our group talks not only because it greatly expanded my Jewish knowledge but also because Zvi created a safe space for us all to learn. It takes a kind heart and a keen mind to create a safe learning community among people on so many different levels of Jewish fluency. Zvi made me have more confidence as a Jewish learner–I look forward to more opportunities like this!

Zvi is an inspiring teacher of texts. He combines an intimate fluency with traditional Jewish wisdom with an extraordinary ability to see clearly how ancient wisdom speaks in the idiom of today.
