Volume 2?

Wow!  The DVD is getting a great reception.  People are already asking about Volume 2.  I've been thinking what is the best topic to cover next and am leaning toward covering the Hebrew verb system.  It is the most complex part of the language and unique to Hebrew and Aramaic.  On the other hand, it is very aesthetic in its regularity and levels of meaning.  I think it is the most useful topic I could cover.
However, not too soon.  I'm just home from sukkot (I hope you had a good holiday) and off the foreign lands again next week.  I'll be back in time to sing 'hodu l'Adonai ki tov'.  Did you know that 'hodu' not only means 'thanks' but also means 'turkey'?
