L
ocal high school students
will have a chance to learn
about business issues from
a Jewish perspective while earn-
ing college credits this fall.
A new course created by
Yeshiva University and Chabad
will be offered in person at three
local sites beginning in October.
“This is a class for Jewish teen-
agers to learn about
Judaism and get
college credits from
Yeshiva University.
There will be
opportunities to
socialize with other
10th-to 12th-grad-
ers,
” explains Rabbi Menachem
Caytak of Chabad of Troy.
The class was developed by a
Chabad Jewish teen network and
Yeshiva University (cteenu.com).
It is open to any Jewish student
in 10th-12th grades; prior Jewish
education is not required. The
class will meet weekly for 60-70
minutes over 14 weeks, enabling
students to earn two college
credits with an optional sev-
en-week extension for an addi-
tional credit.
Yeshiva University is a highly
regarded educational institution
based in New York City. Its cred-
its are transferable to many other
colleges and universities. This
course has been offered in other
cities with a recent pilot version
in the Detroit area.
Ella Dotan, 15, a sophomore
from Rochester
Hills, learned about
the program from
her mother. She is
interested in the
course because “I
would like to learn
more about Judaism
and business and because of the
opportunity for college credits
while in high school.
” Dotan has
had a bat mitzvah and formerly
attended services at The Shul in
West Bloomfield. She will be a
student at Avondale High School
in Auburn Hills this fall.
In addition to Rabbi Caytak,
instructors will include Mushky
Dubov, who codirects Chabad
of Bloomfield Hills, and Rabbi
Yarden Blumstein, teen director
of the Friendship Circle, located
in West Bloomfield. Classes will
include “a lot of group discussion
of contemporary ideas in the
Jewish tradition. Students will
be able to develop great Jewish
relationships, learn about their
heritage and get a head start on
college,
” Rabbi Caytak says.
Examples of curriculum topics
include socialism and capitalism
from a Jewish viewpoint; wheth-
er unions reflect Jewish values;
philanthropy; the myth of the
self-made man; and economic
ethics from a Torah perspective.
Course fees start at $999 for
two credits for those registering
by Aug. 10. Rabbi Caytak stress-
es that scholarships are available
so cost should not be a barrier
to participation. Registration is
available at cteenu.com and clos-
es on Oct. 19.
Course offers Jewish guide to issues in
the commercial world.
