'On Bible Teaching and Education' is a blog founded and managed by me since 2010. I am a lecturer in Bible, at the Hebrew University, and teach, among other things, as part of 'Man and Medicine' of the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University. My research interests are biblical faith and its literature, the text of the Bible and the status of the Bible in education and Israeli society. Publishes research on this in journals and conferences and participates in international congresses on the study of the Bible and its teaching.
The purpose of the blog is to spread knowledge and enable discourse in the broad field of the Bible, its research, teaching and its status in Israeli society. From time to time he spreads his wings to even broader cultural topics (book reviews, thought, music, archaeology, the Holocaust, the rise of Israel, and more). The emphasis in it is on academic essays on biblical subjects. At the same time, there is a stage for lively original works inspired by the Bible: poetry and fiction , analyzes of biblical poetry and visual art. The materials on the blog are diverse: it has articles, photos and videos. A special section in the blog is 'in memory' describing the work of prominent personalities in the study of the Bible and its teaching.
The blog is not a network journal but a kind of streaming academic internet journal that is updated frequently. This nature makes it possible not only to offer studies and works of timeless value, but also topical information, often in real time, about what is happening in the field: archaeological discoveries, new books, exhibitions and events. Every year during Hebrew Book Week, the blog publishes recommendations from personalities on interesting books from diverse fields that invite surfers to opportunities to expand their horizons and cultural enrichment. Lists of new and old books are published throughout the year, not just in conjunction with special events.
The blog is always open for free, there is no money for anyone who is interested. Its main language is Hebrew, but occasionally there are also records in English.
The virtual space of the blog serves as a hostel for the research and creations of prominent personalities in the world of spirituality, art, academia and the education system in Israel, and its door is also open to the first research and creation of young people - students and teachers.
