‘It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.’
Proverbs 25:2
During the Second Temple context of Jesus’ ministry, the two highest values in Galilean life were Community and the Text. The wisdom was that you wanted two kinds of people in your life: A Rabbi and a Friend who would study with you. Deep at the heart of this statement was the idea that collaborative learning was the ideal.
In the first century Jewish world of Jesus, a sage would gather a group of students. Their goal was not just to learn the text but embody it like the Rabbi. This group of students was called a Haverim (a group of friends who study together). Join us for a seminar where for a day we lay down our Western individualistic model of study and where we explore this Eastern collaborative model of bible study and try our hand at this ancient practice the opens up the Word in 4K-3D-and full Stereo sound!
Join us for a day workshop as we explore the idea of Haverim… friends who study together.
