The portion of the Bible that was read this last Sabbath in the synagogue contained the verse Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 7. i doont have a Bible handy (still haven't unpacked my books) but you can look it up. It comes in the midst of an admonishment that when one sees a bird sitting on a nest, ones should chase the bird away before taking her eggs to use "to prolong the life of man" intriguing? i like it! hilary blue
