An Introduction to the Koran, for Jews

A six week course, exploring the origin, content and themes of the Koran, with special emphasis on the stories of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs we share--with some interesting differences. 

Come ask the questions you've always wanted to ask! 

Please get this text:  the Penguin edition of The Koran, translation by Dawood (available on Amazon for $11.95).  It's essential we use the same translation, and this one is excellent.
