Capstone Project
Part of the JTS Certificate in Biblical Hebrew
After completing the four-course sequence, participants are encouraged to apply their biblical grammar knowledge and skills to a section of Tanakh and develop an original translation. There is no cost to complete this optional project.
Planning Your Capstone
- Identify your interests: Choose a book or section of Tanakh about which you are curious or to which you feel connected. This will make the translation process more enjoyable and engaging.
- Consult with Dr. Moster: Sign up for a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Moster to get his input and guidance. He will help you narrow down your options and ensure that your project is manageable in terms of scope.
- Complete Capstone Proposal and Timeline form: Submit form to the Community Engagement office.
- Develop your translation: Capstone Projects must be submitted within three months of your consultation.
- Present your translation: Sign up to meet with Dr. Moster to present your translation and discuss the verses that interested and challenged you.
