Orientations to the Teaching of Rabbinic Literature Jon A. Levisohn Brandeis University January 27, 2008

What is a teaching orientation? [An orientation is] a description not of a teacher’s “method” in some technical meaning of the word, but in a deeper sense, of a teacher’s most powerful conceptions and beliefs about the field he or she is teaching. It is the living expression of the philosophical questions… What is my view of the aims of education [in this subject], and how as a teacher do I attain those aims? Holtz, Textual Knowledge (2003)
