This course is designed to help students identify and research patterns in Scripture. There are nine video sessions that correspond to nine chapters in the companion workbook. Each chapter in the workbook is built on the concept of building a house and provides the student with a detailed list of resources along with a variety of questions, definitions, charts, quizzes, and projects. The final chapter gives the student an opportunity to prepare their own in depth teaching using all the tools outlined in the previous chapters. This is not a hermeneutics course, but rather a course that focuses on some of the most important patterns in Scripture. This series is included in the Sod level membership. It can also be purchased in the marketplace for non-members, as well as for Derash, Remez and Parshat members.
