I joined RBF's Jewish Law class shortly before it was no longer possible to do so. It was a tossup between the other course that I was taking because I thought I should, and then this one (the one that I wanted to take but didn't think would ultimately look useful). Weakness for what I hope will be tons of muttered random Aramaic phrases uttered in the Jesuit-iest institution around finally won out.
The course is actually split between RBF, the top Rabbi of Reform in the US, and another professor that I have yet to look into. We'll see how this plays out, as I'm not entirely sure how a multi-professor, multi-ideological course can really come together. But I've got faith (ba dum bum).
As an update to the post below: we had a good time even though I looked like I was totally suffering. Icing on the cake: going to hug Guy goodbye... and missing him by about two feet (to the left). Good catch, Guy.
By the way, I'm currently in NY. Quite sick, quite working on papers, quite going to miss the first day of school and wondering how the hell I'm going to make it through yet another schedule-intensive semester (though less so than the last one for reasons we'll just refer to as 'lessons learned').
