Firstly we must apologize because there will be no Coveritlive connection for class interaction as Dr Elisheva is ill and unable to operate the Coveritlive system.

Our Class will look at the connection between the Year of Release (Shemitah) and the Nazarean codicil’s presentation of the account of Bar Abba (Barabbas) and Pilates yeilding to the Tz’dukim (Sadducean High Priest)

This class will be an interesting class as we will take the material from and ancient Homiletic Teaching style of the First century.
