series, and, for those who attended, it
was a big success.
"I don't know very much about
this subject, and I really wanted to
get some idea of what it was all
about," Sherman said. "I thought
Mrs. Bergman took us through it
very carefully.
Attendance at the kabbala class
totaled eight people, while, next
door, three others discussed apocalyp-
tic prophecies in Christianity and
Judaism with David Blewett, execu-
tive director of the Ecumenical
Institute for Jewish-Christian Studies.
Blewett, a Lutheran educator with
more than 20 years' experience in
facilitating interdenominational com-
munication, has spoken with several
Eilu v'Eilu groups since coming last
year to the Southfield-based
Ecumenical Institute.
"I'm a strong believer in scripture
in Jewish/Christian relations,"
Blewett said. "I'm not saying the two
religions are the same. We should dis-
agree. But, with knowledge, we can
make those disagreements work for
us."
The Dec. 23 class pinpointed the
exact passages in the New Testament
that millennialists use to forecast
Armageddon.
"The problem is, in the past, every
time these prophecies don't come
true, it had led to increased violence
against the Jews," Blewett said.
On Monday, Blewett gave a more
general overview of Use and Misuse
of Scripture in Jewish-Christian
Relations" to 20 adult learners at
Eilu v'Eilu's Monday morning Latte
and Learning at Borders Books and
Music in Farmington Hills.
Attendance was higher because the
informal discussion group meets at
the same time and place each week.
About 50 people came to the win-
ter break classes, said organizer
Nancy Kaplan. Several who attended
more than one session were counted
only once.
Kaplan modeled Eilu v'Eilu's win-
ter break Learningfest after a highly
successful midwinter session held by
the Drisha Institute for Jewish
,Education in New York.
"We definitely hope to offer this
again next year," she said. "It's the
kind of untraditional learning oppor-
tunity that has to grow on people as
they get more accustomed to having
a Jewish study option at this time of
year." H
