Reading the Bible in Hebrew
June 15, 2008
Dear Friends,

Our weekly "Reading the Bible in Hebrew" meeting will be held this Monday, June 16, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. at the Center for Biblical Hebrew in Phoenix
(Located at 400 West Camelback Rd. #103, Phoenix, AZ)

This week's parasha is B'haalot'kha

Numbers 8:1 - 12:16

We are including this section with the mailing to all members of our mailing list even though it represents a local Phoenix Arizona function. We would like to share with you some of the excitement we feel about studying this week's Torah reading and make it easy for you to find it wherever you are. We encourage you to read some of the commentary links and indulge in studying the stories and morals of the Torah for yourself.

Israeli Scientists Growing Extinct Date Palm
From 2000-year-old seed


2000 year old date palmIsraeli scientists have succeeded in getting a 2,000-year-old date
seed to sprout and grow into a palm of a native type that had been extinct for hundreds of years.

The seed - nicknamed Methusaleh after the oldest person in the Bible -was found in the ancient fortress of Masada, on a hilltop in the Judean desert by the Dead Sea where Jewish zealots committed mass suicide to avoid surrender to the Romans in the first century CE.

How the Hebrew Language Grew - A Classic

Hebrew_language_grew_image
This is an exciting opportunity for all who aspire to learn about the Hebrew language. We have only a very limited number of copies of this book for purchase, and suspect that once this edition (1993) is sold out, we may have trouble finding more.

This classic book is one of the most fun, humorous and informative books on the development of Hebrew that you will read. Like a good detective story it uncovers the inner workings of the Hebrew language for you, helping even the very beginner to make sense out of its mysteries. This highly recommended book is a sheer delight.
