"What is Tanach?" is a standard question that I often ask middle school students in the Jewish Day Schools in which I teach. It's a barometer of sorts that lets me know how deep their Jewish learning has been. The thrill comes in helping them understand just how deep the deep end of Jewish learning and experiences really is. TaNakH - Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim (Bible, Prophets and Writings) - that's just the beginning of our amazing story... just ask Mark Twain.
