Videos

Exodus: 21:1-24:18 

People of the book, dive in to a video, won't you? Author and professor David Henkin talks about the act of writing in this week's G-dcast...in an attempt to discover what we need books for, anyway.

The storyteller refers to the idea that the Jewish people are known as "People of the Book". Do you think Jews have a particular attachment to the written word? Why?



Each week, a different storyteller - some musical, some poetic, some just straight-up, tell the story of the current Torah portion...and then we animate it! For a source sheet and lesson guide for this animated short please visit http://www.g-dcast.com/weekly-parsha/
