Each portion presents real-life topics in light of the biblical perspective. They are not designed for the exclusive use of leadership (pastors, teachers, prayer guides, preachers, etc.), but so that every member can study them in harmony with the entire congregation.
Although Books 2, 3, and 6 of Limudei Way Up explain and train leaders (Gabaim) on how to implement and teach them, here are some specific suggestions:
- There are 157 Portions for Life that make up a total cycle of three years. Upon completion, the cycle restarts with the respective Simchat Torah holiday.
- Although they are divided into two books available here on our website or directly on [amazon.com], you can find All Portions and the Portion of the Week here.
- Each portion is sequentially numbered (Portion 1, Portion 2, Portion 3, etc.).
- The portions are composed of:
- A Golden Text from the Torah or Pentateuch (to focus the theme).
- Texts for daily devotional readings during the week (Haftarah).
- Questions to facilitate study and group debate (Chavrutot).
- Preachers, trained under Limudei 3, will select one of the daily reading texts to focus their sermon on during worship services. The diversity of texts in each portion will allow the preacher to navigate a wide and rich range of topics. This method also benefits the audience, as each member has the opportunity to go through the portion texts from the beginning of the week.
- Each portion, being based on biblical fragments, develops as many real-life topics as possible, making the believer more eager in the Christian life.
- Limudei 6 provides the pedagogical foundations to train and develop the ministry of teaching. Trained teachers will be able to create a special class adapted to their students.
- Since one of their goals is the harmonious walk of the entire church, this will facilitate families and friends sharing the same weekly topics. Therefore, teachers outside of the Limudei Way Up Introductory Courses must use the adult portions and, based on them, explain the principles found within the context of their community.
- Why don’t we provide a specific manual for each age group? We understand that the teacher is the one who truly knows their students and must adapt and use the portion themes as they deem appropriate for them. Our perspective is that every teacher should have this pedagogical freedom, which is why they must be instructed through Limudei 6 for greater effectiveness in specific classes. Furthermore, every teacher will be an adult who has previously gone through these portions in their personal discipleship and can draw from their personal experience to teach their students, depending on their ages.
- For the particular case of Toddlers (ages 0–2), there are 10 portions specially designed for this stage of life. The repetition of such a short cycle over two years allows for better influence on the children at such an early age.
- Each portion will facilitate family and congregational devotional dialogue, as everyone will walk through them simultaneously each week.
- If the pastor, facilitator, or education leader has any questions or suggestions, they can contact this ministry directly.
