Bible Bonanza is a program in which one reads this classic text, five chapters a day, and completes the entire Bible (Tanakh in Hebrew) in just under nine months. Bonanza means a situation or event that creates a sudden increase in wealth, it was also a cowboy TV show from the 60s. Studying the Tanakh will not bring you financial prosperity (although, you never know, just joking), however, it is a source of spiritual and intellectual sustenance. Explore the Bible, and you will discover the basis of our theology and practices. The Tanakh embodies Judaism’s ideas and central narratives.
In Israel and throughout the diaspora, where philosophies of Judaism are diverse, the study of the Bible can often be what creates commonality. The Bible encompasses the early story of our people. It is the foundation of Jewish tradition as it speaks to the great issues of our own times and helps chart a path for the future.
