Lindsey Taylor - Guthartz\nIn this three-part series\, we’ll explore three ancient Jewish works that stood just outside the biblical canon yet shaped Jewish imagination for centuries.\nPart 1 - Ben Sira: A 1\,900-year -old book that almost\, but didn't quite\, make it into the Bible\, the Bo ok of Ben Sira (also known as Ecclesiasticus) is full of moral advice\, be autiful psalm-like passages\, and some unfashionable views about women. We will look at its fascinating history and sample some of the text.\nPart 2 - Enoch: Enoch only has a tiny part in the book of Bereshit\, but his app arent failure to die inspired later Jews to fill in the rest of his story. We're going to take a look at the First Book of Enoch\, from the 3rd cent ury BCE\, which includes a tour of heaven\, a universe bristling with ange ls\, a solar calendar\, and lots of apocalyptic stuff.\nPart 3 - Jubilees: Back in the second century BCE\, an adventurous Jew decided to rewrite th e Bible ... and produced the Book of Jubilees\, a fascinating read with al l sorts of secret information on the calendar\, the early life of Abraham\ , and God's plan for the Jewish people.
