Our online leadership school, Darshan Yeshiva, teaches you everything you need to know to become a Darshan, a lay Jewish spiritual leader serving unaffiliated communities all over the world. There are so many Jews out there who need community, but for whom there will never be a brick-and-mortar synagogue community. That’s where YOU come in!
The Darshan Yeshiva curricula includes:
- Prayer Book Hebrew
- Liturgy for Shacharit, Mincha, Maariv
- Shabbat and Holiday Services
- Jewish history, philosophy and literature
- The Jewish calendar
- Lay chaplaincy including hospital visits
- Life cycle events including bar/bat mitzvah, baby naming, funerals and shiva minyanim
- Practical halacha and Talmud
- Maggid training
