Reading the Bible in Hebrew
June 22, 2008
Dear Friends,

Our weekly "Reading the Bible in Hebrew" meeting will be held this Monday, June 23, 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 Sh'lah L'kha

Numbers 13:1 - 15:41

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.

The Masada Museum launched at desert fortress site
Masada-IsraelArcheological treasures culled from digs at the ancient mountain fortress of Masada can finally be seen on display in their original locations with the launch of the new Masada Museum.

The museum, launched last May, is the first of its kind in the world, according to the National Parks Authority. Its over 700 artifacts, revealed to the public for the first time, include a Second-Temple era tallit (prayer shawl) and the famous "12 lots of Masada" - shards of pottery which each bear a single name and which may have been used as the death lots in the final moments of the Jewish rebels' last act of defiance against the Romans.
