Ari Delevie Bio
Ari is a Sabra, born in Haifa. Hebrew and German are his native languages.
He is a retired clinical psychologist, holds a doctoral degree from Columbia U. He lived in White Plains, NY, for 45 years.
He was married to Joan for 51 years, who she passed in 2011. They have three daughters and seven grandchildren.
Ari worked at mental health agencies and had a private practice. He volunteered with the IDF, treating soldiers with combat PTSD and wrote book about it (“Coping with Demons of War”) in both in Hebrew and English.
Ari has been teaching courses about music (he is not a musician) at Pelican Cove, where he lives with his wife, Judie, for the last six years, and a conversational Hebrew class, for the last three years. Previously, he taught a course on the same subject at congregation Hevreh, in the Berkshires.
Ari has great interest in art, and has done oil, acrylic and water color paintings, color pencil and pen-and-ink sketches, one resulting in a book about Jerusalem. He sculpts in wood, stone, clay and steel.
Ari and Judie create art together; stained glass and sculptures, cook, bake and travel.
Ari is looking forward to teaching members of KH some contemporary Israeli Hebrew.
How many times have you heard explanations of why sometimes God hardens Pharoah’s heart and sometimes Pharaoh hardens his own heart? This class will offer you a framework to answer that question without resort to either philosophy or theology. If that possibility appeals to you, then please join in our study of Exodus 1-20. Students are encouraged to study the texts with a partner before class, following a set of guided questions. While this approach demands more commitment than many Adult Ed classes, it also offers the reward of deeper mastery. In the first four classes we will focus on untangling the multiple stories of the burning bush, the plagues, the crossing of the sea and the Ten Commandments. In a fifth and final class, we will consider the implications for how we understood Torah and our relationship to it.
Herb Levine loves teaching Jewish Studies to adults. He was trained as a Ph.D. in English and American Literature and taught courses in the Bible as literature and its impact on later literature. He previously taught Mussar as a KH adult ed. offering.
