Bat Kol Institute

This international association of Christian women and men committed to study the Word of God within its Jewish context, using Jewish sources, has revised its educational program. They are no longer just Masters level, just in Jerusalem (although that option remains).

Bat Kol is looking to establish a series of retreats and workshops in Ontario that serve the needs of Ontario Catholic school teachers. They have a very well-designed framework within which you can create a custom workshop to help deepen your teachers’ knowledge of the scripture stories at any grade level. www.batkol.info

The Institute is in a position to be very creative (and flexible) with its fee structure as it develops this new teaching paradigm. If you are planning PD in the area of scripture:
Contact Patricia O’Reilly poreilly@oise.utoronto.ca
Or Glenn Edward Witmer, President, Bat Kol Institute, admin@batkol.info
