Parshat Balak Comes ALIVE on Twitter TODAY

donkeydonkeyaton

Remember that “modern haggadah” of the Passover story, told via a facebook feed? It was a cute graphic, but what’s coming today is much more exciting:

From 11:00 – 12:30 California time, Jewschool’s own Balaam’s Donkey will be joining the other key characters of this week’s parsha (next week’s for some folks) to create a collaborative dialogue on Parshat Balak via Twitter. The characters will be played by a group of students at Brandeis Collegiate Institute.

Everyone is encouraged to following them on Twitter by searching for #balak. Many of the “users” even have icons to match: @BalaamsDonkey1, @KingBalakofMoab, @AngelofHashem, @TheIsraelites, @PinchasBEleazar, @BalaamSonofBeor, @ParshatBalak, @TheDignitaries. Folks are invited to follow these users and get in on the conversation.

Who else is super excited for the talking she-ass?

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
