Harvard JLIC Rabbi Publishes First Ever Book Combining Judaism and Twitter
Twitter Torah brings the profundity of the Torah to you in 140 character messages based around the weekly Torah portions. The book shares insights from seven unique and thoughtful people. The contributors to this book all come from different places in the Jewish community: traditional and non-traditional, men and women, Jewish professionals and lay members.
Cambridge, MA, October 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Rabbi Ben Greenberg has brought Judaism and Twitter together in book form by collaborating with six other writers on the publication of "Twitter Torah."
Rabbi Greenberg as a campus rabbi of Harvard University and Director of The Seif Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus at Harvard, has extensive experience working with people in "Generation-Y" and recognized that Twitter represented a new way of communication for the next generation. He knew that the thought of the Hebrew Bible needed to find a way to condense itself to 140 characters or less and he took on the challenge of doing so.
By dividing his book around the weekly portions of the Hebrew Bible read in synagogues he has made it easily accessible for any reader, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Each thought is condensed to a bullet point of 140 characters or less thereby making each thought qualify to be the shortest sermon in the history of western religion.
The book, Twitter Torah, is available for purchase on Lulu.com.
