Decoding Da Vinci with Rabbi Richard J. Birnholz
An old saying goes: "Dead men tell no tales." That may be so. But do they paint pictures before their deaths that tell tales? Dan Brown in his novel The DaVinci Code seems to think that Leonardo DaVinci did paint a secret code into his rendering of the Last Supper – a code which suggests that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife and that a story claiming she bore his child is true. Join Rabbi Richard Birnholz, Sr. of Congregation Schaarai Zedek as he uses religion, history and political theory to examine this claim and reach new, thought-provoking conclusions.
