THE EARLY HISTORY OF ISRAEL, which is being taught by a lady Jewish Rabbi.
I could hardly wait as I truly want to understand the history of the Middle East.
However, as smart as she is, she is disorganized, scatter-brained, and just not a good teacher. It's hard to follow her and she wanders all over the place constantly saying, "I'll get back to that later."
But, that is not the point of this post.
The Rabbi signed an agreement to never talk about the Jewish history as a religious entity; she is not to talk about religion or prostelitize in any way.
Everyone in the class is over 55. We are adults. I WANT to hear the Jewish history in terms of religion.
The IRONY for me is that all over the US, liberal professors can destroy the faith of naive, beautiful young college Freshmen telling them there is no GOD, law is not important, America is a piece of crap, etc.
But, in a class of old people, who have pretty much made up their minds about religion and the direction of our lives, the rabbi cannot talk about religious matters.....WHAT is that all about?
Is the university afraid one of us might convert to Judaism at this point in our lives, and if we do, why should the university care?
It just seems so ludicrous to me, that we over 55 can't hear about religion, but the young peoples' ideologies can be destroyed by a super liberal atheist spouting off his beliefs in the comfort of his classroom, NO MATTER WHAT HIS SUBJECT MATTER IS.
Something is definitely WORNG with this picture.
