This class is open to everyone in the congregation, whether or not you are participating in the Reading the Whole Bible project.
The Bible is the basis of everything Jewish. There is so much in it: melodramatic stories that would make the writers of Game of Thrones blush, law, poetry, parables, prayers. How do we make sense of it all? Join us as we study the Bible at a level of depth and intensity that will enlighten and enchant you. Among the many questions we will consider:

Who wrote the Bible? What did our ancestors think? Why do modern scholars differ?
How do Jews study the Bible? What are the kinds of questions Jews ask when we study the Bible? How can an in depth study of the Bible give us an understanding of the evolution of Jewish thought and belief over 3000 years?
How do Christians and Muslims understand the Bible differently than we do?
What does the Bible have to say to us? What does the Bible have to teach us about God, human psychology and the meaning of it all?

This class is recommended for conversion students. Click for registration and details.

Mishloach Manot Order Deadline
2017-02-23 17:00 - 17:01
THE MISHLOACH MANOT PROJECT IS BACK!
Send friends and family special Mishloach Manot (Purim gifts) and help support the synagogue at the same time. The mitzvah of exchanging Purim gifts has never been so easy – it’s a two for one mitzvah and it’s just a few clicks away!
Here’s how it works in three easy steps:
1. Check your email and mailed flyer sent last month for the website and your personal login code.
2. Go to the site listed on the flyer (hnt.happypurim.com) and log in.
3. Check the names of those you wish to receive this gift for $5 each.
All recipients will receive ONE gift package with a list of those who have sent them mishloach manot. For every 20 recipients you send to, you get a $10 price break ($90 per 20 recipients). There is also an option to reciprocate gifts – to ensure that you send Mishloach Manot to anyone who sends to you, even if you missed them on your list. All proceeds benefit our HNT community.
For questions email PurimGifts@h-nt.org or call Amy Hartman at (281) 513-2620.
