“Balance of Power in the Persian Gulf”

For those inside the beltway (outsiders surely welcome), the National Museum of American Jewish Military History is putting on a luncheon series during the month of July. According to the Schmooze (you do know about The Schmooze, of course), it will be held every Monday in July from 12:30 to 1:30. The first session, on July 6th, is “The Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War” led by Dr. Jeffrey Greenhut. I couldn't find this on their website, so you might want to call Mary Westley (202-265-6280, x511) to confirm.

About Mike

I have lived in Northern Virginia since 1973. Adult Jewish education is my second career and I do it first because teaching is, for me, the best motivation for learning and now that I have the time for learning, there is nothing that is more enjoyable. But the other reason is that teaching adults about the Jewish tradition is an important part of helping with Jewish continuity: the more that Jewish adults know, the more we can teach our children and grandchildren. And the more that non-Jewish adults know about the Jewish tradition, the fewer stereotypes and negative images they're likely to hold and transmit to others.

I have taught Jewish history, philosophy and mysticism at adult education programs at a variety of locations in the Baltimore-Washington, DC area. Additionally, I lecture on topics that include Reconstructionism, Jewish Mysticism, Jewish music, Jewish Ethics, and Jews in the Hellenistic period. I have been a lay leader of Conservative, Reconstructionist, and independent services. In 2001, I edited Kabbalah and the Art of Being, by Dr. Shimon Shokek, published by Routledge Press.
