Lehrhaus Judaica said
What does it mean to be and live as a Jew? What are Jewish ideas about God? Afterlife? The messiah? Sex? Good and evil? Reward and punishment? How and why do Jews pray? This course will address these and other questions. It is designed for Jews and non-Jews who want to deepen their knowledge of Judaism, and also for those considering conversion to Judaism. We’ll learn together about Jewish life, faith, and practice, including Jewish holidays, their meaning and how they are celebrated; Jewish ways of marking the life cycle from birth to death; the Torah and other key Jewish texts; the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel; and varieties of modern Judaism.

Consulate General of Israel, San Francisco said
Lecture and discussion with young
Israeli writer Alon Hilu on his stunning debut:
Death of a Monk
Alon Hilu, a young and acclaimed Israeli novelist, offers in his first novel, Death of a Monk an original homosexual interpretation for the historical blood libel against the Jews in Damascus, Syria, 1840. The Damascus of Death of a Monk is a rich and vibrant place; lively, sensual and at the same time teeming with fear and hostility. Through the dark alleyways and bustling marketplaces, Hilu unfolds a story charged with emotional and sexual conflict told by a young gay Jewish man. It is a powerful story, at times wickedly funny, at others painfully sad, but beautifully told throughout. The novel, awarded the 2006 Israeli Presidential Prize for Literature, has been translated into English, (Harvill Secker, London; Random House, Canada), and is being translated into French, Italian and Greek.
