DEAD SEA SCROLLS: LIFE and FAITH in BIBLICAL TIMES at Discovery Times Square, New York City
DEAD SEA SCROLLS: LIFE AND FAITH IN BIBLICAL TIMES At Discovery Times Square, New York City (A Christian Perspective) Gordon Franz Introduction The fantastic Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Biblical Times exhibition at the Discovery Times Square building in New York City is about more than just the Dead Sea Scrolls; it is about daily life in the Biblical world. The subtitle – “Life and Faith in Biblical Times” – says it all. The exhibition runs until April 15, 2012, in New York City, and then, in May 2012, it will be at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, where it will run for another five months. The Bible is more than just another book with black (and sometimes red) letters on a page. The Bible is about real people, in real places, experiencing real events in history. Sometimes, because of our twenty-first century Western mindset and experiences, it is difficult to imagine how people lived in Biblical times. For example, the LORD metaphorically searched Jerusalem with lamps (Zeph. 1:12). When we think of a lamp, we think of a stand with a shade and a socket with an electric light bulb that illuminates when a switch is flipped. In the Biblical world there was no electricity, only olive oil and a wick to light the oil lamp. This exhibition will give you an idea of what those lamps actually looked like. Through the exhibition you will get a glimpse into the material culture of the Biblical world and add a third dimension to your Bible study! You will also be able to experience “Oh, now I see [literally] what the Bible is talking about” moments! As an archaeologist and a Bible teacher, I was fascinated by the whole exhibition, which is on loan from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

NYC Official Visitor Guide A Letter from the Mayor Dear Friends: As temperatures dip, autumn turns the City’s abundant foliage to brilliant colors, providing a beautiful backdrop to the five boroughs. Neighborhoods like Fort Greene in Brooklyn, Snug Harbor on Staten Island, Long Island City in Queens and Arthur Avenue in the Bronx are rich in the cultural diversity for which the City is famous. Enjoy strolling through these communities as well as among the more than 700 acres of new parkland added in the past decade. Fall also means it is time for favorite holidays. Every October, NYC streets come alive with ghosts, goblins and revelry along Sixth Avenue during Manhattan’s Village Halloween Parade. The pomp and pageantry of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in November make for a high-energy holiday spectacle. And in early December, Rockefeller Center’s signature tree lights up and beckons to the area’s shoppers and ice-skaters. The season also offers plenty of relaxing options for anyone seeking a break from the holiday hustle and bustle.

Skorton. Now+Next Few events in my life have been as uplifting and humbling as that of Oct. 19, 2015, the day I was honored to become the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846. In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28). The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.

75 Years and Beyond
75 YEARS AND BEYOND BERNARD REVEL GRADUATE SCHOOL OF JEWISH STUDIES YESHIVA UNIVERSITY 75 YEARS AND BEYOND 75 YEARS AND BEYOND 75 YEARS AND BEYOND RICHARD M. JOEL President, Yeshiva University I have developed a keen interest in the remarkable legacy of the first president of Yeshiva University. Through his unique vision and untiring commitment, Dr. Bernard Revel made it his mission to build, sustain and grow Yeshiva into the first college of its kind in the world. When pondering the extent of his legacy, one must consider not only Dr. Revel’s profound rabbinic scholarship, but his academic Jewish scholarship as well. From the beginning, he proffered a vision in which the world of Torah in all its facets and forms of study could be explored and celebrated at this institution; how fitting, therefore, that our graduate school of Jewish studies everlastingly bears his name and imprint. The Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, founded more than 75 years ago, finds itself in the midst of a spectacular renaissance. The quality of both our senior faculty, and a brilliant cadre of junior faculty, enables Revel to have an impact far beyond its boundaries. Our prestigious academic programs are simply unmatched. We’re seeing an extraordinary increase not only in students pursuing master’s degrees, but aspiring scholars who are working on their doctorates; so many of them have entered and enriched our communities with their immense knowledge and tremendous scholarly output. Within Yeshiva, Revel’s vertical integration throughout the Jewish studies programs at this university has further fostered the sacred Torah Umadda conversation in inestimable ways.
