Bulgarians in San Diego: Vasil Levski Educational and Cultural Foundation

Dear Friends,
I am glad to hear the enthusiastic feedback about the course of “The History of World Literature” that we have started.  For all parents who feel their children would benefit from attending our meetings, please feel free to bring them along.  Inquisitive young minds are always very welcome.  
For all of you who are traveling away on vacation and are unable to join us, I plan to have a remedial session sometime in September to help everyone interested to catch up with the course.
The theme of our July meeting is:  “The Hebrew Bible” – lecture number three from the course. 

"The Hebrew  Bible" is one of the most important books in history, both for literature and for culture.  For centuries, all writers within the Judeo-Christian culture wrote either consciously or unconsciously within its framework.  The lecture will also focus on the art of the Biblical Narrative, which has become a formative story for all of subsequent Western literature.  

Dear Friends,

Our April meeting will be remembered with the lively, lengthy and passionate discussion of Kapka Kassabova’s immigration story “Street without a Name”, which made us all compare notes, share personal experiences and voice mixed opinions about life in Bulgaria before and after the Communism collapsed.  Kudos goes to our teenage guests Lea and Hrissie for their sincere remarks, sharp observations, and contagious patriotism.  Bravo, young Californian-Bulgarians!
