SUMMARY:From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly - TEE
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:From Prophecy to Leading Jewishly - TEE
DESCRIPTION: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.
