ne day a rabbi, a priest and a radio host will meet at the Pearly Gates, but right now, you can fi nd them here, teachers for the OContinuing Education Division at the University of St. Michael’s College. Rabbi Dow Marmur, Father Charles Principe, CSB and Rick Phillips teach three of the eighty-seven courses off ered by Continuing Education which celebrates its 20th year in 2006. Rabbi Marmur has given freely to the life of the spirit. He is a former chief rabbi of Holy Blossom Temple, the largest of Canada’s Reform Jewish synagogues. He is a distinguished scholar of Jewish scripture, or, as Catholics call it, the Old Testament. Father Principe, a retired University of Toronto professor of French, teaches “Native, Jesuit, and French: Culture Shock in Seventeenth-Century Canada, Part IV,” a consideration of Rélations, journals of the Jesuit missionaries in 17th century New France. Phillips produces and hosts CBC Radio’s Sound Advice, a weekly broadcast of reviews of new and re-issued classical and opera CDs. He is also a 25-year veteran of music appreciation, teaching across Canada. In the classes of Rabbi Marmur, “Song of Songs” breathes with life, love and knowledge. Most of us know “Song of Songs” as beautiful poetry of the love between newly-weds; however, its imagery of love is also a guide to the love that exists between God and humanity. Th us, in late June of this year, about 40 students arrive at Carr Hall 406 to discover a scholarly and spiritual understanding of “Song of Songs.” Much of the university campus feels deserted. But the students in Rabbi Marmur’s class share a passion for
