Daytime | AND GOD SAID: HOW TRANSLATIONS CONCEAL THE BIBLE'S ORIGINAL MEANING

Are there "mistakes" in the English translations of the Hebrew Bible and in the New Testament that quotes from it? Professor and
author Joel M. Hoffman, PhD, gives a compelling account of significant mistranslations and misleading English in the Bible, raising
such questions as: What's wrong with the Ten Commandments and the word "commandment?" and: What is the surprising message in the
Song of Solomon? www.92YTribeca.org/Daytime

WELLNESS SHABBAT

In the spirit of spring's impending arrival and the forthcoming Passover cleaning ritual, bedikat chametz (the search for leaven),
92YTribeca Jewish life will celebrate a special wellness Shabbat with our friends from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.
Cynthia Neipris, L.AC (Licensed Acupuncturist), and David Thuroff, L.M.T (Licensed Massage Therapist), of the Pacific College of
Oriental Medicine will give us the lowdown on everything we need to know about oriental medicine and some quick and easy strategies
for relaxation. Then, Cynthia and David will guide the group in a special QiGong meditational practice to increase our mindfulness
and energy flow. Our night will conclude with a "too good to be healthy" dessert and tea. www.92YTribeca.org/JewishLife

SHABBAT with the "SCIENCE BABE" DEBBIE BEREBICHEZ

Join the 92YTribeca Jewish life community as we celebrate a special Shabbat HaGadol (the "big" Shabbat before Passover) with
physicist Dr. Debbie Berebichez, also known as the "Science Babe." Debbie will take us on a fascinating journey to examine the
science behind the famous ten plagues of Passover fame, and how other natural phenomena influenced the story of how the Jews escaped
from Egypt. Stick around afterwards for some new wave, "experimental" desserts. Whether you question the connections between science
and religion or believe that science can actually help us to deepen our understanding of the Torah, this is the Shabbat for you!
