A brief description follows:
Herod the Great
Herod and his family defined Israel at the start of the Common Era. They shaped the political and cultural climate in which Jesus lived and the Gospels were written, extending the Temple of Jerusalem to the point that it became a pilgrimage site for Jewish and gentile tourists all over the world. They also inspired a reaction against their rule in the bedroock of Judeo-Christian philosophy, which warns against mixing politics and religion-from "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" to key teachings in the Mishnah, the foundational document of Rabbinic Judaism.
The presentation begins at 12:30 p.m. followed by a questions and answer period.
Lunch will begin at 12:00 noon and consist of soup, bread, dessert, and beverage at a cost of $7.00. Lunch reservations are required by e-mailing [email protected] or by calling 845-758-7279.
