  • From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly – TEE

    From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly – TEE
    Temple Emanu-El 2100 Highland Ave, Birmingham, AL, United States

    The largest section of the TaNaKh, our most central Jewish text, is Nevi’im, the Prophets. In the numerous books of this section, we encounter the prophets of our tradition. The prophets in this text are passionate and moral people who desperately want to pass the word of God onto the Israelite people. The task of these figures is to be a compelling microphone of God, and help the chosen people find the best way to live according to God’s laws. Each prophet strives to make the world a better place. In the course, we will dive deeply into the Prophets, learning how to apply the text to our modern lives as well as examining the text itself through a lens on the Hebrew and commentary.

  • What History Teaches: Lessons from the Earliest Resistance to Nazism

    virtual

    From the moment that he stepped onto Germany’s political stage in the early 1920s, Adolf Hitler faced resistance. Cartoonists depicted him as a clown, a butcher, and a knock-off version of Mussolini. One playwright portrayed him as a crazy barber building a cult following with elaborate, unfulfillable promises. One writer produced a history of Nazism in which he described Hitler as a “lazy schoolboy,” among other things. This was all prior to Hitler’s seizure of power in January 1933. Who were these early resisters to Nazism, and what compelled them to sound the alarm on a fringe political group that for years was seen as little more than a novelty act? And how and why did they fail to stop them? This talk will explore a neglected but intriguing corner of history – and ask what lessons we can draw from it for our own time.
