Creation Stories The Egyptian‚ Mesopotamian‚ and ancient Hebrew cultures were all very different. The earliest known creation writings were dated from the third millennium B.C.1 Whether it is belief in one God or several‚ each culture represents one or more.

Food plays a fascinating role in the lives of both my climbing coach‚ Alex‚ and my Hebrew teacher Sarah. The strict compulsive preparation of kosher ("proper; fit") meals in Sarah’s home is particularly mystifying. The Hebrew alphabet and holiday stories take a back seat to my chance to peek at the rich chaos of Sarah’s ultra-orthodox kitchen.

Christian Rap vs. Mainstream Rap I can’t believe the radio is playing some of the music they play and claim its radio friendly. Its not when all you hear is sex‚ killing‚ drugs‚ and so forth.

The field of landscape archaeology can be challenging in the way that it conducts itself. Most of the time the sites are obstructed by vegetation or they may be hidden in a farmer’s plowed field.
