I am in the middle of a major project for Rabbi Berel Wein’s organization, The Destiny Foundation.
In the late 80’s Rabbi Wein put together, over a period of four years, 116 tapes on Jewish history. They quickly became a classic and touched all types of Jews from the very uninformed to the most scholarly.
My assignment is to take those tapes and turn them into online classes that will be offered for free on his subsidiary website: www.jewishhistory.org
Best of all these classes, which will constitute a serious Crash Course in Jewish History (and Judaism), will be free. Yes, free! (The CDs or MP3s are not free, but the written version of them will be.)
I have started a blog called, “A Taste of Wein,” to post excerpts of the different classes before, during and after I post them.
