Three semesters successfully behind me, semester No. 4 is now under way! My classes are much like last semester:
Leshon Hazal (Aramaic)
Biblical Text (translating and studying portions of Leviticus and Numbers)
Haftarot (translating and studying selections from the Haftarot, which are all gleaned from the poetic parts of the tanakh, which make up 1/3 of the bible)
Biblical Civilizations (history and theological development through the fall of the Second Temple)
Modern Hebrew
I'm also very excited to be participating in a nonfiction writer's critique group every other week. I haven't lost hope of eventually finding an agent and getting my dating book published. After having it rejected by half-a-dozen agents (which I hear is actually not that many in the big scheme of things), I decided it would be helpful to get some objective critiques from other writers to improve what I already have written before sending it out to more folks.
