Tamar KamionkowskiLisa Kelvin TuttleThe Mishkan Shalom library committee's Third Annual "One Book Mishkan" series — drawn from the themes related to Richard Friedman's Who Wrote the Bible — will host its ever popular panel discussion this weekend. This year's panel is convened by biblical scholar S. Tamar Kamionkowski, Ph.D., and Lisa Kelvin Tuttle.

Dr. Kamionkowski is Vice President for Academic Affairs and Academic Dean, Chair of the Department of Biblical Civilization and Associate Professor of Bible at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. Ms. Tuttle is Communications Director for the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation and editor of Reconstructionism Today. An active member of Mishkan Shalom, she is a coordinator of the congregation's Shabbat morning Torah study.

The panelists will each discuss the influence of the historical-critical approach to reading the Bible on their own faith, and then the floor will open to questions. The panel will be moderated by longtime library committee member Dr. Adam Blistein, Executive Director of the American Philological Association.

This event is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reception.
