The description of this taped event speaks for itself. Perhaps we can start a thread about "how to actually keep Torah" (The subject of Ken's book). Its sad that this reporter from Esquire magazine undertook the one year project of living according to the Bible (and from the advice of the panel of religious experts he assembled who interpreted it for him) for so long yet seemed to have learned so little. Any thoughts? You can watch the video here. Quote:First Congregational Church of Berkeley and Cody's Books

A.J. Jacobs discusses The Year of Living Biblically.
The Year of Living Biblically answers the question: What if a modern-day American followed every single rule in the Bible as literally as possible. Not just the famous rules - the Ten Commandments and Love Thy Neighbor (though certainly those). But the hundreds of oft-ignored ones: don't wear clothes of mixed fibers. Grow your beard. Stone adulterers. A.J. Jacobs' experiment is surprising, informative, timely and funny. It is both irreverent and reverent. It seeks to discover what's good in the Bible and what is maybe not so relevant to 21st century life. And it will make you see the Good Book with new eyes. Thou shalt not put it down.
A.J. Jacobs is an editor at large at Esquire magazine, for which he wrote the article "My Outsourced Life". His last book was The Know-It-All in which he described the process of reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica - Cody's Books Edited by user Wednesday, November 14, 2007 9:04:13 PM(UTC)
