Thursday, August 20 at Noon EDT Jewish Culture 101 will offer “Jewish Painters,” a look at the work of artists like Mark Rothko, Ben Shahn, Helen Frankenthaler, and Lee Krasner. Sign up for the class at bitly.com/BenkofAugust
For September, I’ve announced three all-new Monday classes (Lynn Ahrens songs, the Holocaust and American Jewish Culture, and Arthur Miller 101); a Thursday series on Philip Roth’s short fiction; and a special Rosh Hashana meeting of the very popular Debbie Friedman 101 class.
Question: I’m thinking of offering this fall, for a moderate fee, an 8-week “Introduction to Judaism” course. If you think you might be interested, please write me back and I’ll have some follow-up questions.
