Despite the COVID-19 era, we are grateful to continue to provide meaningful content via Zoom, publications, and other venues.
I just published my latest book, Cornerstones: The Bible and Jewish Ideology. The book contains twelve essays that explore aspects of our core values at the Institute.
The book is available at amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cornerstones-Jewish-Ideology-Hayyim-Angel/dp/1947857436/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hayyim+angel&qid=1603212552&sr=8-1

I thank the sponsors of the book who contributed to the Institute to make the book’s publication and distribution possible.
