Apr 5, 2021

I am pleased to announce that this Thursday, in honor of parashat Shemini, we will be running a special live online presentation from the Hall of Kashrut and the Hall of Small Animals at the NEW Biblical Museum of Natural History! You can sign up at https://www.biblicalnaturalhistory.org/product/shemini-live-at-the-biblical-museum-of-natural-history/ Please spread the word!
