Event Description:

Our speaker this month is Dr. Ron Eisenberg.  Ron Eisenberg recently moved to Boston with his wife, concert violinist Zina Schiff, to join the radiology department at the Beth Israel Medical Center. The author of 20 textbooks in radiology and a non-practicing attorney, he has pursued graduate courses in Jewish Studies and will soon be awarded a Doctor of Science in Jewish Studies from the Spertus Institute in Chicago. He has published five books in Judaica – the full-color Jewish World in Stamps, the Jewish Publication Society Guide to Jewish Traditions, The 613 Mitzvot, The Streets of Jerusalem, and the just-released Dictionary of Jewish Terms: A Guide to the Language of Judaism. Tonight’s talk will be taken from his doctoral project, which details how the narrative, law, and customs of the Bible are similar to those of other ancient Near Eastern religions, but stresses how in Israel they were transformed into a unique belief system and civilization.
