Day 57 - Wednesday, December 20 - End of Days

Quite an appropriate title as we approach the end of this historic first cycle of 60 Days here in Chicago. I hope you've enjoyed this project as much as I have and that you have learned a lot. At the very least, I hope it has aroused your desire to learn more.

Please encourage your friends to sign up for our next cycle, beginning January 3rd and concluding the day before Purim.

This essay draws on the story of Purim to describe a fundamental idea about the Jewish view of the coming of the Messiah. The headlines of today's newspapers confirm this outlook in a very strong way.
