The 60second Recap™ aims to break this cycle of canonical irrelevance. We want to help teens (yes, teens of all ages!) engage with literature. We want to help them see it not as some chore to be endured, but as -- dare we say it? -- the gift of a lifetime. How? Through the language of our time -- the language of video. Video that's focused, engaging, informative ... and short enough to hold just about anyone's attention.\n\nThe 60second Recap™ wants to make the great works of literature accessible, relevant, and, frankly, irresistible to today's teens. Through our 60second Recap™ video albums, we seek to help teens engage with the best books out there ... not just to help them get better grades, but to help them build better lives.\n

After completing a degree in religion I lived in Amman, Jordan for a year and a half. Even though Amman is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the Holy Lands, my first visit to Israel did not come until I was returning home to America. It was actually just a seven-hour layover at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv- I didn't even leave the airport. I knew that security would be tight at the Tel Aviv airport, I just had no idea that I was soon to become another victim of Israel's human rights' violations. When I landed in Tel Aviv I asked a security guard where I needed to go to make a connecting flight. He did not answer, so I figured that there might be a language barrier. I repeated my question, slowly, using lots of hand gestures. He just looked at me. I also speak Arabic, and all of the signs at the Ben Gurion Airport are in both Arabic and Hebrew, so I asked if he speaks Arabic.
