Deep Rich Jewish Content: Overview and Methodologies

What is Deep Rich Jewish Content?

Deep Rich Jewish Content (DRJC) methodologies invite learners to actively engage with primary texts, sources, and materials from across the spectrum of Jewish history and communal life. Through rigorous exploration and open inquiry, learners grapple with the multi-vocality of Jewish sources, cultivating transformative understandings and a commitment to continuous learning. Learners co-create their own learning, fostering lifelong Jewish belonging.

The Six DRJC Tools: 

1. Use of Primary Text
2. Textual Layering
3. Explore Text through Multiple Modalities
4. Create a Relationship Centered Pedagogy
5. Demonstrate Authenticity and Vulnerability in the Classroom
6. Develop Self Efficacy in Learners
