Common Misconceptions about the Bible

I generally use Twitter to pass along interesting articles, blogs, etc, but I recently found something that is too good NOT to pass along via blog, too - an article from the Huffington Post called "5 Common Misconceptions about the Bible" by Christine Hayes, a scholar and author from Yale University.  It's a must-read for anyone involved in Jewish learning - whether as a teacher, a learner, or both!

Edot - Jewish Gold Rush Field Trip

One of our Religious School Tracks - Edot - is going on a field trip this Sunday to explore the Jewish "Gold Rush" in California.  A video was created to describe the experience, called "Visiting Pioneer Jewish Cemeteries - Learning from our Past."  Check it out - it's an amazing video for a truly extraordinary educational program!
