The
practical courses provide Teachers/Mentors with the principles of communicative
approach and other methodologies. HRTI created a more dynamic, interactive
classroom and "Blackboard" which is this Global Online Midrash Blog,
and encourage the formal enrolled University students to post any questions or
concerns here below.
Please
feel free to make use of the forum areas made available to you (this Blog,
emails, Facebook). These, especially this Blog, are great platforms to discuss
your assignments with your fellow students and your Teacher/Mentor. Should you
have any personal questions regarding your performance, please email your Teacher/Mentor
directly. Please refrain from discussing these issues in the forum areas.
While
it is perfectly acceptable for you to employ a bit of friendly banter as you
converse with your fellow students and instructors, remind you to stay on
topic. It is inappropriate to use the forums for selling goods or services,
converse about the weather or politics, or request assistance for installing
software, for example. Such non-related conversations are a distraction and a
loss of valuable time for all involved. We reserve the right to immediately
delete any message without notification should we feel that it does not pertain
directly to the material we are teaching. We will also delete any messages
containing profound language or of a derogatory, controversial, insulting,
nature otherwise inappropriate to the course. We hold the right to expel any
participants that do not comply with conventional rules of respect.
The Priestly Source (P), according to the Documentary Hypothesis, is one of the sources of the Torah/Pentateuch in the Bible, together with the Yahwist, Elohist and the Deuteronomist. Primarily a product of the post-Exilic period when Judah was a province of the Persian empire (the 5th century BCE),[1] P was written to show that even when all seemed lost, God remained present with Israel.[2] It has been compared to a necklace strung with pearls: "the thread of the necklace is made up of genealogies, itineraries and a terse story line, with a strong interest in chronology ... [t]he pearls are the major stories".[3] Its characteristics include a set of claims that are contradicted by non-Priestly passages and therefore uniquely characteristic: no sacrifice before the institution is ordained by God at Sinai, the exalted status of Aaron and the priesthood, and the use of the divine title El Shaddai before God reveals his name to Moses, to name a few.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priestly_source.
