The 2nd Ki Metzion Live Interactive Video Conference mini-series runs from January 20th, 2008 to February 3rd. We will have the honor of hearing from Rabbi Motty Berger, senior lecturer in Jewish Philosophy at Aish HaTorah College of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Rabbi Berger will give a 3 part series on “The Messianic Concept and the Middle East.”
Here is the schedule:

Jan. 20th, 1pm - “Judaism, Religion, and Nationalism”

Jan. 27th, 1pm - “The Messianic Concept: Why do we need it?”

Feb 3rd, 1pm - “The Footsteps of the Messiah: The best of times or the worst of times”

All the lectures take place in Baltimore, MD at the Center for Jewish Education, 5708 Park Heights Avenue (2nd floor of the Park Heights JCC).

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Mark your calendars, Baltimore!

Project Genesis inaugurates a new season for the Ki Mitzion Tetzeh Torah videoconferencing program!

On December 16th, 23rd, and 30th at 1:00pm, via a live, completely interactive hookup, Dr. Gerald Schroeder will deliever a mini-series on Science and Torah to a Baltimore audience at the Center for Jewish Education (2nd floor of the Park Heights JCC). See the flier below for more details.

There are many more talks and speakers to follow so stay up to date by reading the Lifeline, ProjectGenesis.org, and the local Baltimore circulars. And if you’re in Baltimore - be sure not to miss it!

As you may recall, we finished our “Ki MiTzion” interactive VideoConference series roughly a month ago. The series featured lecturers in Israel speaking live to a Baltimore audience, using modern technology in lieu of airplane travel. Many of the recordings from those events are now available on TorahMedia.com.

One of the speakers from that series, Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Becker, has uploaded more of his lectures to TorahMedia and to his own site, Mussar-Psych.org.

TorahMedia also has entirely new sections on Music and Radio! We’ve started small, but we welcome new submissions. For starters, hear the soothing guitar and clarinet mix of Jewish Roots Music from Tzvi Gluckin, or listen to the classic German Jewish prayer compositions sung by a talented young cantor and his choir. Also check out our Radio section with interviews, news, and quick Torah thoughts (”sound bites?”).

We’re on the lookout for more talent for our music section. We hope to give Jewish music artists the opportunity to offer and sell their material and acquire greater recognition. If you are a new artist, send us some samples of your material — we’ll review it, and possibly put it on the site!

Good Shabbos!
