(Re)searching the Bible

WSJL's statewide Bible Study Program brings together people of diverse backgrounds to learn about the Biblical text from a variety of perspectives. Groups are currently meeting throughout the state - some have defined curricula and meet regularly, and some meet occasionally to discuss specific topics. The Society provides advice, speakers, and a Shabbaton, and the project will culminate in a trip to Israel in 2012.
