The teaching will start with Shma and end with the ten commandments, and will include: Reading text with meaning using cantillation marks as guides, Learning the alphabet of trope, Breaking down a reading, Actual ceremony and tips for preparation and actual participation. Extensive material will be provided in DropBox to augment class sessions.
