Focusing attention on some of the world’s oldest and most profound stories, the series highlights 70-text selections from the Jewish Bible, based on the tradition that the Torah has 70 ways of interpreting and understanding it. Curriculum includes: Modern and classical commentaries; textual interpretations by rabbis, scholars, artists, and poets; opportunities to learn key Hebrew vocabulary in the context of the story; and discussions on the real-life implications of the story’s contemporary relevancy.
