This was a really awesome class experience. It was truly different than any other class I have ever taken. Each student had the opportunity to interview a member of the Kolot Chayeinu congregation, which is a great project. I learned so much about oral histories as well as the uniqueness of Kolot Chayeinu. Lana Povitz absolutely loves this class and it shines through. While the 3 hour night class is long, it is manageable and there is not much work outside of the class. I recommend taking this class if you want to take a class with Povitz or want a cool experience.

Very monotonous class with boring readings. Had no work, just a paper (final draft was 70% of the grade). He was the toughest grader I have had. Worst class I have taken at Midd. If you have an extreme interest in Arendt, then maybe its for you. The entire month of readings was just Atendt.
I have had two classes with Robert Schine because I love him. One was an introductory class, and that was very doable. His Jewish Studies seminar, however, is one of the most challenging courses I have ever taken at Midd, but it actually helped me grow so much as a student instead of just being stupid hard like some other classes. He is no joke, he expects a lot and you can't BS, but he is passionate, reasonable, kind, and interesting. I love him, and I hope you will too.
