Wednesday, October 7: Haftarah: Judaism’s Prophetic Voice – Wednesdays at 3:00 pm on Zoom, beginning October 7 with Rabbi Barbara AB Symons.
Explores the prophetic voices of our tradition, as well as modern voices that compel us to act. The haftarah is a weekly encore—a second sacred text that complements, challenges and expands upon the Torah portion or the holiday cycle. Chosen from amongst the books of the prophets, these selections offer a moral imperative and a sacred social critique. Some of them still stir us to this day, while others feel distant, inaccessible or unrelatable. In this weekly study group, we’ll explore the prophetic voices of our tradition, talk about what the haftarah was meant to do—and ask what voices today might stand beside Torah, demand to be heard, and compel us to act.
