Justice and redemption. Good vs. evil. Heroism and cowardice. The courage to boldly share one’s vision with a dark and disillusioned world. These aren’t just headlines from the 2024 election cycle; they are the well-worn teachings of our biblical prophets, passed down through the generations. Join Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen for this multi-session class exploring the wisdom of the prophets through a modern lens: what can Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah and their peers teach us today? How can their stories guide us toward lives rooted in equality, purpose, and the pursuit of a more just society?
No prior experience studying TaNaKh (Torah, Prophets, Writings) necessary. Open to adults of all ages. Participants will receive a copy of “The Prophets” by Abraham Joshua Heschel.
