Cyberspace welcomes women to a world of Jewish learning

NEW YORK, N.Y. – CyberSem, a new online, interactive Jewish religious seminary for women began classes this fall. Founded by Chavi Goldberg, CyberSem brings post-secondary education to women for whom a traditional education environment might not be feasible. Geared towards those who have not had the opportunity to attend seminary or who want to continue their Jewish education, CyberSem offers accredited courses that allow the flexibility to learn while managing the constraints of their daily schedules. Students meet up regularly with their class and instructor online in a secure, private online environment. Students also have the ability to earn B.A. degrees.

“We looked at Jewish life and religious learning, and followed the trends in physical seminaries before we chose coursework. Our platform and curriculum will convey the best and most practical lessons and courses to enable our students to get the same study experience of a traditional classroom,” said Goldberg, who looked to the same cutting-edge platform – instructure.com – used by Ivy League schools when building CyberSem. “We offer challenging, relevant and inspirational courses in Jewish scripture, history and laws, and help them with professional development and personal growth.”

Registration is ongoing now at www.cybersem.com.
