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.
