Filled with fascinating, personal anecdotes and peopled with colourful
characters from Winnipeg's past, Roland Penner's A Glowing Dream: A Memoir
takes the reader on a historic, and often tumultuous, journey. Drawing on
memories and archival materials, Penner connects the political dots from his
paternal ancestors who emigrated to Southern Russia at the time of Catherine
the Great to his own political activities (excerpted from
www.mcnallyrobinson.com <http://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/> ).
Born in Winnipeg in 1924, Roland Penner became involved after his return
from active service during World War II with the communist Labour
Progressive Party and later with the New Democratic Party of Manitoba. He
practiced law for 15 years and, in 1972, was the first Chairperson of
Manitoba's new legal aid system. In 1981, Penner was elected to the Manitoba
Legislature and appointed Government House Leader, Chair of the Treasury
Board, and Attorney General in the NDP government of Howard Pawley.. He was
Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Manitoba, where he still
teaches Constitutional Law. Penner was appointed as a Member of the Order of
Canada in 2000, being cited for his contribution to legal aid and human
rights (excerpted from www.mcnallyrobinson.com

Shalom,
We are excited to announce that the Study Tour - entitled "The Land of
Israel: The Jewish Connection" - is making its reappearance at the
International School of the University of Haifa this summer in June. We
welcome students from around the world to join us as we navigate Israel from
top to bottom.
During this three-week intensive academic course, students immerse
themselves into 4000 years of history through engaging seminars and outdoor
field studies. Through study, hiking, reading and exploring, our students
gain a hands-on, close-up understanding of the history and the challenges
facing Israel and the Jewish People. Students earn academic credit while
having the summer of a lifetime! For more information about the Study Tour
program, please <http://uhaifa.org/page.asp?id=44&a=a3&b=b4> click here.
We would appreciate it if you would pass this message along to anyone who
may be interested, and we welcome anyone to contact us with any questions.
Thank you for sharing information about our program!
Best regards,
Caroline
