Have you ever wondered how our tradition thinks about dinosaurs?

Does the Torah hint at the existence of human beings before Adam and Eve?

Rabbi Nathan Slifkin, a world renowned expert on Judaism and the animal kingdom, will lead us on a special private guided tour of many fascinating natural history wonders at the Royal Ontario Museum. Watch Torah come alive in this unforgettable tour. Bring the whole family.

I've registered with 2 of my kids [including the one who asked aghast when we were in the Origins of Man Hall at the Museum of Nat'l History in NYC if there's anything there not against halachah]... Hope to see other h.com members there.

I dunno. I'm just reporting what he asked. He meant, against the torah/acceptable views. I guess he conflates "halachah", "torah", "acceptable views" etc.

I don't like the ROM so much. Then again, I haven't been there in a long time, but I do remember that I didn't like it. The only thing that I liked was the Ancient Egypt section. IIRC, they might have Paroh there, but I can't remember.

You kidding me? Of course it's fun. Well, provided the mother does all the work and all you do is the fun stuff like this:

I do enjoy the ROM and actually have been wanting to check out the new building, but I won't be able to make that tour.

My friends have tiny little kids and it doesn't look like nearly as much fun.

That sure brings back memories.

I took skiing lessons there when I was a kid.
