Let's Take A Poll

If I were to give a lecture/ teach a class somewhere in Washington Heights, would you come?

What would you like the topic of the lecture to entail? (Options: Tanakh, Sex & Gender Roles- I could teach you my class, Classical Sociological Theory, English Literature, English Literature and Tanakh, etc.) And if you wanted it to be a longer series/ class, what would you like it to be a class on?

Just figured I should see if there is any interest in this.

What a question!
I absolutely love your Tanakh related posts and have been reading them for the past couple of years. I would enjoy Tanakh lectures on Biblical leaders in particular and weekly parsha as well. Looking forward to the poll results.Thanks.

If I were in the area I would certainly come to your Tanakh lectures/studies! I find them interesting and often meaningful (even if I find myself at odds with your reasoning sometimes:))

Sadly,I'm not in the area though :(

Go for it!!

i would love to come.

alas, i'm currently in pa for the summer.

but i say, GO FOR IT!

and podcast it, of course, so we could listen to it over the internet.

if i may humbly propose, to do these classes under the aegis of some shul, e.t.c., you may attract more people.

have faith in yourself! like we say at nike: just do it!

I definitely would (just not now, since I'm studying for the Bar!). I'd actually be interested in all of the above! :)

Chana,Tanakh related lectures would be awesome! I'm sure once classes start in the Fall you'll get Stern girls wanting to attend too.

Sex & Gender Roles- I could teach you my class,

Do you mean a curriculum you developed, or the class you are taking this summer?

I would certainly like to attend such a class; however, since the trip from Florida would be slightly impractical, I think I will just stick to reading your blog! :-)

Regarding the topic of your proposed class, I agree with all of the other commentators that requested a course on Tanakh and I also think that a podcast would be great. The only advice that I can add is to know your intended audience/community. If they are more traditional, you may want to focus more on traditional exegesis. However, if they are looking for something more modern, I would recommend a lecture combining literature and Tanakh.

No matter what topic you choose, I am sure that you will do a great job!

P.S. Did you get my email last week?
