We will learn about the often heroic yet deeply flawed lives of Samuel, Saul, and David through a close reading of the biblical books of Samuel. Part 2: Saul, First King of Israel. The material in this class is self contained and therefore it is not necessary to have taken Part 1. Text: Tanakh, The Holy Scriptures (Jewish Publication Society). Location: Temple Sholom, 10828 Kenwood Road, Blue Ash.

Moderator: Gerry Walter is Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Sholom and also the recently retired Director of Pastoral Care at Cedar Village. He has taught Jewish and religious studies and Bible at Hebrew Union College, NKU, Virginia Tech, and Roanoke College.
