	JewishEncyclopedia.com - AKIBA BEN JOSEPH: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Akiba's true genius, however, is shown in his work in the domain of the Halakah; both in his systematization of its traditional material and in its further development.
		Akiba made the accumulated treasure of the oral law—which until his time was only a subject of knowledge, and not a science—an inexhaustible mine from which, by the means he provided, new treasures might be continually extracted.
		Akiba, however, was not to be turned from his purpose; he sought the son of the tax-gatherer and labored long and assiduously in teaching him the word of God.

		Akiba Eger's Welsh Riesling and New Cabernet Franc are Kosher for Passover.

		Since 1989, AKIBA has been and will seemingly go on as a duo: AKIBA relies on electronics to accomplish the task of creating the complex textures that typify their compositions, but are also dependent on their acoustic instruments to make the music real.
		When their music is not based solely on live piano, guitar, flute, sax or an occasional electric violin, the MIDI-based sequencers and samplers provide the 'missing-link' between their live performance and the 'studio sound' that audience have come to expect of their compositions.
		AKIBA has also released an album of their original works, and will be back in the studio sometime soon to record another CD.

	Akiba School
		As more people visited the Akiba School, they also became sponsors and returned to the States telling of the great number of children with the deep desire to go to school, which led friends, relatives, and officemates to sponsor kids as well.
		We are convinced that the program is a fantastic way to serve the less fortunate as the school sponsorship fees are not merely impacting the child, but also the family, school and teachers.
		The sponsored child is lifted out of a life on the streets, and the Akiba School is receiving students whom they know they can count on for school fees thus ensuring that the teachers at Akiba will be paid their salaries (without our school fees this would be in question).
