Armchair Yeshiva

I love technology. Now you don’t even need to get off your kiester to do some learning; the Virtual Beit Midrash at Yeshivat Har Etzion begins its new semester next week. I don’t know a lot about these folks, but a friend has studied with them for years and is very enthusiastic about the program. The first year is free, and after that I think you’re encouraged (but not even required) to donate $18. They’ve got classes in parshanut, Talmud, halakha, hassidut, philosophy and the like.

Curriculum for 5766 is here, and subscription info is here.

For folks who want something structured like a graduate-level class, (and/or something for which I think you can get credit), JTS also has a distance learning program, info here.

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
