ELI Talk: Eternal Tables: The World To Come

The Jewish version of TED talks are called ELI talks.  You can learn more about ELI talks here.  Earlier this year I was asked to prepare an ELI talk about a topic of my choice.  Many thanks to the Covenant Foundation for this opportunity.

For my talk I spoke about the table text that guides this blog.  Most of this blog was written during our Sabbatical in 2011-12.   Preparing this talk helped me think about what I learned during the Sabbatical and beyond. The 15-minute talk recently came out on-line.   You can see it here on YouTube or on the ELI web-page here.

Since the “proof-text” for the table is related to the Yom Kippur liturgy, I offer this talk here during the Hebrew month of Elul as preparation for the High Holidays.

As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome.
