Mrs. Lapin and I were offered a guided tour of the new Museum of the Bible in Washington DC. We accepted, planning on spending an hour there. We were confident that an hour would more than suffice. We know the Bible, right? We frequently visit Israel. We've already seen one too many archeological artifacts. Gosh, was I wrong! We spent five hours there. They couldn't get rid of us. And we are eagerly planning our next visit; sooner rather than later. How often is your rabbi speechless? Ridiculous, right? But I was lost for words. The museum is deeply moving for any American regardless of faith and profoundly impactful for any sentient human being. In this show, I describe what we saw and I place it in cultural context in terms of the socio-political canyon that cuts through our American culture. This is an immensely significant addition to our nation and I feel indebted to the Green family, creators of Hobby Lobby whose generosity and vision made it possible.
