This month, Al Steiner will discuss reading the Bible. We will attempt to place the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) in an understandable context for a 21st century Jew. In dealing with English translations of this ancient set of books we can, by trying to project back to its origins, deal with the many contradictions, mistranslations of the colloquial language and word usage that differ from today's language. It's as though a future historian were to find a contemporary document about "wise guys." They might believe that the Mafia was an academy of scholars. The same kind of misdirection often appears in biblical scholarship. Reservations may be made at the BK office by Wednesday, May 14 at noon. All interested adults are invited; dinner is $12 and is payable at the office by check or credit card.
