| JEWISH LEARNING |
| For the beginning part of the year I took an adult education class at the Talmud Torah of Minneapols. I went once a week to a Yiddish Language class. After this course was over I often attended Rabbi Lief's weekly toray study. If I did not attend his class I would try to attend an interesting lecture on campus or in the community. |

| I also tried to put Jewish content into alot of my programming. I did a program about Kosher Sex. We ate strawberrys and chocolate while learning about a variety of the Jewish Views on Sex. Below is a picture from this program. Both years on Yom Kippur I gave the dvar torah and that was an excellent way to study the portion and teach to the community. Both years I also led a Passover Women's Seder and several Rosh Chodesh groups that included Jewish learning in preparation for the events. |
| The second year of the fellowship proved very difficult to organize my Jewish Learning experiences. I attempted to take the University Hebrew course, but lost time to take on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I made a concerted effort to attend the lectures that the Center for Jewish Studies would sponsor in the community. This opportunity is a great one and the JCSC should take responsibility to make it happen. |
