TORAH AND BEYOND (II)
– Stories from Deep below the Heavens and a Little above the Earth

As the Biblical narratives describe the human struggle and the potential for achievements and failure in our relationship with God and with each other, they resonate with us in our efforts a few thousand years later.

A boat, a tower, a pillar of salt: I like how ideas can be expressed through stories with memorable objects.
