---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Rabbi Howard Siegel


   The Jewish Information Center of Houston is offering the following two Online learning sessions at no cost!!  All you need is a computer, access to the internet, and a telephone (cell or land line).

"TALMUD WITHOUT BORDERS"(June 5, 2011) -Learn the "ins & outs" of Jewish law.  Everything from capital punishment to lost & found, and more!  We meet online every-other Sunday evening (or so) from 8-9:00 pm (central time).  Now is as good a time as any to take a dip in the "Sea of Talmud."  NEXT SESSION: SUNDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 2011 AT 8:00 PM.  There are only 15 spaces per session.  There are still a few openings for the June 5 session on a "first-come" basis.  


"ISRAEL & THE PALESTINIANS: UNDERSTANDING THE MIDDLE EAST" (June 19, 2011, 8-9:00 pm/central time)-Will the United Nations declare a Palestinian state in September?  What are the "real" prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians?  These questions and more will be explored as we try to understand the terms of engagement between Israel and her Middle East neighbors.  This informative session will lay out the issues and explain the terms so often quoted but not understood.  The session takes place on SUNDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 2011 AT 8:00 PM (central time).  There are only 15 spaces available in this session.  Spaces will be filled on a "first-come" basis.

    This is proving to be an excellent source for Jewish distance learning in the comfort of one's own home.  Please take the opportunity to join me.  I look forward to it.
