Myrna Pendery — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:41:24 +0000

David: Poet, Warrior, Politician, Lover and Hero. Taught by Professor Ronald Brauner. This is a study of the many dimensions of one of the most famous persons in history, using classical and modern sources. By popular demand Beth Israel- The West Temple is joining with The Siegal College of Jewish Studies to offer another course by Prof. Ron Brauner – and you don’t have to travel all the way to Beachwood to take it. It will be taught for six weeks via teleconference in Ratner Hall at Beth Israel on Tuesdays, 7:30 – 9:30 pm starting on September 14. The cost of the course is $135. Prof. Brauner has just announced his intention to retire at the end of this academic year, so this may be the last time you have the opportunity to learn from a renowned master teacher and scholar. Registration instructions: Call Ruth Kronick at 216-464-4050 ext. 101 and tell her you will be taking the course at Beth Israel. You may pay by credit card over the phone.
