Social Justice in our Texts: Jewish Wisdom for Building a Better World
This event is part of a Monthly Study Series
Prophetic Voices, Then and Now
With Rabbi Barbara Symons
Monday, October 20 at 3pm ET / Noon PT
Sign up
What does it mean to be a prophet? What does prophecy demand of us today? In this session, we’ll sketch a “job description” of a prophet, and explore who the Hebrew prophets were. Then we’ll turn to the week’s Haftarah (prophetic reading)—analyzing the text through the prophet’s lens and then offering alternative voices as we listen carefully for the call to action. This class invites us to hear the prophets anew, and to ask how their message challenges and empowers us.
Anyone who registers for this class will receive a discount code for Rabbi Symons’s book, Prophetic Voices, from the CCAR Press.
