Studying The Bible
One Day At A Time
C
/—
all it the Book of the Day Club.
Rosh HaShana and Yom
Kippur may be the only days many
American Jews open the Bible, but
this year two organizations are urging
the People of the Book to consult the
Book a few minutes every day.
Although similar in design, the two
projects — one sponsored by the reli-
gious Zionist women's organization
Amit and the other by the United
Synagogue of Conservative Judaism
— were developed independently.
Each program provides study mate-
rials and reading guides, while encour-
aging participants to chat with each
other about the content — whether in
synagogue discussion groups, over the
phone or on the Internet.
Amit's Tanach Yomi started in July
with Deuteronomy, and United
Synagogue's Perek Yomi kicks off on
Simchat Torah, with the Book of Joshua.
Rabbi Jerome Epstein, executive
director of the United Synagogue, said
the daily approach gives people a
manageable way to familiarize them-
selves with the Bible in its entirety. He
credited the idea to his son, who —
after graduating from day high school
and realizing he'd never read the whole
Tanach, or five books of Moses —
vowed to read a chapter a day.
"I thought it was a passing fad, but
he did it," recalled Rabbi Epstein,
adding that at the rate of 15 to 20
minutes per day, one can read the
Bible in about two and a half years.
Amit's project was spurred by a
seminar in which educator Rivka Blau
said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if
thousands of women all over the
country could study and we gave them
the means?" recalled Elissa Chesir, one
of the project's chairwomen.
"We want people to open up the
Bible regularly and reacquaint them-
selves with it," said Brenda Felman,
the project's other chairwoman. "It
shouldn't be foreign."
