Upcoming free online classes:
I’ve just announced “Jewish Visual Artists from Chagall to Rothko,” a new Jewish Culture 101 class on Thursday, June 25 at Noon EDT. Register: tinyurl.com/BenkofArtists.
Other upcoming classes:
• “The Lyrics of Stephen Sondheim,” Thursday, June 18 at Noon EDT. Register: tinyurl.com/BenkofLyrics. NOTE THE DATE IS THURSDAY, NOT WEDNESDAY.
• “Philip Roth’s Short Fiction,” a weekly course every Monday through July 20. The next two weeks (June 22 and 29) we’ll be discussing the novella Goodbye, Columbus, but you don’t have to read it first to enjoy the class. Register: tinyurl.com/BenkofShortFiction.
Please note that while all courses are 100% free, there is a completely optional tuition of $6 per class. To be clear, I’ll keep offering free classes if few people pay tuition, just not as often.
Reminder: Dozens of my American Jewish culture videos are available at tinyurl.com/BenkofChannel. Examples: Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” and The Best of Early Bob Dylan.
On another note, I am available to speak to Jewish institutions and organizations online (and eventually in person!). Here’s a demonstration of my teaching. Hit reply if you’re interested in inviting me to offer a special class to your group.
