Pennsylvania and the Spertus College of Judaica.

Your faithful DUS took courses from Prof. Breuer in graduate school at Penn a dozen years ago and found him to be one of his best teachers; more recently Pitt undergraduates who have studied abroad at Hebrew University have reported very favorably on Prof. Breuer's classes.
