How do we make sense of a world where bad things happen to good people? Over 25 hundred years ago, the author(s) of the Bible's Book of Job wrestled with this question, one that continues to resonate with artists and writers today. In this three-part online course, Temple Israel's Scholar-in-Residence Professor David Sperling and Rabbi Emerita Jennifer Jaech will explore major themes in the Book of Job, and popular culture expert Dan Theodore will bring some modern-day perspectives.

1988 NOMA LIGHTS CATALOG

Had a special request for this one--thank you Mark Podmore---the 1988 NOMA LIGHTS CATALOG--and he says: 

Another recent eBay purchase. Even though this is a newer Noma catalog, I was surprised to see that Noma was still manufacturing C-6 series-wired replacement lamps! The old Paramount church is here, too, because Noma purchased the mold. Also here are the vintage "hobnail" cup candoliers and coach lanterns.  SEE THE CATALOG HERE.
