HOLIDAY STUDY SESSION TOPICS

ASERET HADIBROT: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Aseret Hadibrot Literally Means: "The Ten Words"
How Mystical Energy of Hebrew Letters & Words Affect Our Lives
By Rabbi Eliot Pearlson

“DID G-D COMMAND JOSHUA TO COMMIT GENOCIDE?”
 By Judge Lillian Torreh-Bayouth, Dr. Michael Szycher and Rabbi Eliot Pearlson
En route to Israel terms of peace were offered to enemy nations. During the Conquest of ancient Israel men, women, children, even animals were destroyed. “How can a loving G-d command the killing of non-combatants? Are we reading the Bible correctly, or are we missing crucial interpretations in the text?” A fascinating legal, moral and halachic discussion of the issues.

ISRAEL THROUGH ITS 4TH QUARTER
Twice before in history, the Jewish state crumbled before it reached its 100th year. What can be done for history not to repeat itself, now as Israel enters its fourth quarter since its founding - years 75-100. 
By Ahuva Franco
