BNTI COURSES & DESCRIPTIONS

Registration Is On Going Throughtout The Year

In addition to the course fee there is a $120.00 nonrefundable orientation fee for new classmates. The orientation fee covers The Five Step Enrollment Process. The purpose for the Five Step Enrollment Process is two fold.

Applicants are required to reach a certain level before learning at B’nai Noach Torah Institute. Applicants are taught some basics of what Ha Torah requires for Jews and for Spiritualists. Applicants are taught the policies and procedures of B'nai Noach Torah Institute.
Applicants have the opportunity to observe how we teach and interact with them
Applicants may withdraw at anytime without further obligation.

Our staff will get aquainted with each applicant.
Our staff will observe how applicants learn and follow directions.
Our staff will interact with applicants to determine which will fit into our learning style best.
Our staff will determine which applicants are prepared to learn at B'nai Noach Torah Institute.
Our staff will inform an applicant regarding their progress.

About 95% of all who apply at B'nai Noach Torah Institute are invited to learn with us after completing the Five Step Enrollment Process. About 20% of all who apply choose to withdraw or not continue their learning at B'nai Noach Torah Institute.

How do we work together to accomplish this? After we receive your payment for the Five Step Enrollment Process we begin interacting with you through a series of CD's, e-mails and e-mail lessons. Through this process you will learn about us and we will learn about you. After awhile each of us will know if it is berschert {a good match} for us to learn together.

We encourage those who are thinking about advancing their Torah Education to visit our Audio Library. You can sign up for audio discussions of the Weekly Parsha or the Weekly Limood. This will give you a feel for Dr. Akiva Gamliel's style of teaching before you begin The Five Step Learning Process.

All new classmates after completing the Five Step Enrollment Process
must first enroll in either Bereisheit 101 or Shuvah 101 before taking other courses.

13-Lesson Courses

The length of a course is determined by the number of lessons, class discussions, audio / CD instruction, DVD instruction and tests. High speed internet access is a big plus. We send out E-mail, CD and DVD lessons with assignments which classmates have several weeks to complete and return. The instructor reviews the assignment, makes comments and returns the assignment. In many courses we may have on going class discussion in which the instructors comments to valid questions pertaining to the course. Class discussion is by E-mail and audio. Classmates are required to read / listen to class discussions and comment as they desire. Classmates are advised to print out lessons, graded assignments and class discussions as proof of their participation in our course and as evidence of the quality of education offered at B’nai Noach Torah Institute.

B’nai Noach Torah Institute issues 1 and 1/2 units of credit for one 13-lesson course. This is based upon the fact that most classmates would spend over three hours a week reading lessons, listening to audio instruction, completing assignments, asking questions, reading class discussions and studying. Each course normally has 3 open book exams.

Spiritualist / B'nai Noach Courses

Bereisheit 101
Bereisheit 101 is designed especially for the Noachide / Spiritualist and the individual who is searching. When we say the individual who is searching we mean the one who has serious questions about Christianity or another religious belief. This also includes the individual who thinks they may be Jewish but is uncertain.

If you feel there is something out there but can’t quite put your finger on it. Your right. Think about this... Adam wasn’t Jewish and neither was Noah. They were not Christians either. What did they believe? What did they observe? G-d Gave Commands for Adam and Chava {Eve} to follow. When Noach preached repentance before the destruction of the world who did the people repent to. How did they know what repentance was? We will discuss these issues and issues like these in Bereisheit 101. Don’t miss out!!

Bereisheit 101 will teach you more about Judaism as you study because Jews and Spiritualist each observe Ha Torah. Judaism observes 613 commands of Ha Torah and Spirituality observe 66 Commands of Ha Torah. In Bereisheit 101 we discuss Torah Insights common to both Judaism and Spirituality. Bereisheit 101 opens the door of learning for non Jews. We invite you to try this course.

Bereisheit 101 includes apx. 15 e-mail lessons with questions following each lesson, apx. 55 posted class discussions and apx. 15 audio download discussions {some with question follow up}. There are 3 open book tri-tests. Tests are true and false, multiple-choice and essay questions. One should plan about 26 weeks for this very very interesting course.

Bereisheit 102
Prerequisite: Bereisheit 101
This is an introductory course which is built upon the foundation set in Bereisheit 101. We continue discussing important Spiritualist / Noachide principles of Torah. Our discussion centers in on two areas: holiness of G-d and separation of B’nei Yisroel.

Messianic Course

Cholake 200, 201, 202
Choh - Layk - as in Hoe - Lake
Cholake means to share... to distinguish between...

When we began Bnai Noach Torah Institute our very first email was from a Messianic Christian. This letter was less than plesant. It is posted at the conclusion of this email... I began a dialog with this individual to Cholake {to share... to distinguish between... } Judaism and Spirituality from Christian Messianics and Christianity. Cholake is not about being hateful or mean in our teaching but about being deliberate, direct and firm with what we share!

This individual asked many questions and made many comments. I did the same. I explained why Jews and Spiritualist do not believe Jesus is the Moshiach {Messiah}, son of G-d, a Jewish prophet and why we do not recognize the New Testament as Holy Scripture. I answer dozens and dozens of questions used incorrectly by Christian Messianics to challenge Jews and Spiritualists about our beliefs. This course is designed to teach the Jew and Spiritualist how to face these types of people condifently.

If you are bothered by Christian Messianics or Christians this is 5 star course designed especially for you. Cholake will teach you how to deal with them.
If you question Christian doctrines this is the course to take to confirm what you question. I offer many proofs from Ha Torah {the five books of Moshe} the writtings, the prophets and from the New Testament that refute Christian Messianic Doctrine. In cholake I offer many proofs that establish Judaism and Spirituality.

Messianic Challenge
The purpose of this course is to point out valid issues with New Testament Doctrine. At B'nai Noach Torah Institute we understand that many non Jews do not have a background in Hebrew or strong knowledge of Jewish history or traditions. The purpose of this course is to tactfully show many well-founded reasons why Jews and Spiritualists reject New Testament theology. While we encourage you to take this course we want to be upfront with you: First, this is not a course to debate how you believe. We already know. Second, you are welcome to ask questions if you do not understand the lesson. Note: This course will challenge you. It will require up to five hours of study and research each week.
