Comment about Family and Community Shunning
by Band on the Run ini was minding my own business, out of my jw zone, reading a current best-seller, the finkler question, a man booker prize winner, by howard jacobson.

the older one, libor, feels he may end up in israel b/c he will have no choice.

Rembrandt and Faces of Jesus - Philadelphia Museum of Art
by Band on the Run ini thought anyone who lived in the area of philadelphia, even from ny, might want to see the present exhibit at the philadelphia museum of art.

rembrant, very unlike other artists of the age, based his studies of jesus on jews present in holland.

school should teach reasoning.
mere recitation of facts is not sufficient today.
