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.
