A Global Day of Jewish Learning

November 7, 2010
Global Day of Jewish Learning
Tacoma Takes on the Talmud

On November 7, 2010, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz will complete his monumental translation and commentary on the Talmud. His mission has been to give Jewish texts and learning back to the Jewish people. To mark this achievement, communities around the world are joining in a Global Day of Jewish Learning.

On November 7, 2010, members of Temple Beth El will create our own page of Talmud Commentary. You can participate by joining virtually as we discuss Talmudic questions right here online.

We will post questions in a series of blog posts. Give us your response as a comment to help us create our own Tacoma Talmud.

Join my Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Online Team :

Join our Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF Online team to celebrate 60 years of The Original Kids Helping Kids campaign.

There are 6.7 billion people in the world. About a third of them?2.2 billion?are children.

Half of the 2.2 billion children?1 billion children?do not have access to adequate food, safe drinking water, healthcare, shelter and education.

Over the past 60 years children across America have raised $160 million through Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF to end the needless suffering of their more vulnerable peers around the globe.

Help us continue this tradition?Join our team and raise funds OR make a donation to one of our team members?and be part of the kids helping kids legacy.
