Hi Buzz,

I greatly appreaciate this information, tho I got it from the LUG and it 
is way "off topic."  I am not Jewish, and often wondered if I would be 
welcome in such a class.  I do study the Bible and use Strong's 
concordance, which has a Hebrew dictionary in the back.  From this I've 
gleaned that the landuage is wonderfully rich and worth knowing something 
about.  In my community (Princeton, NJ) we have a very active ecumenical 
organization working to accept and appreciate diversity.

Thanks again.
