Although the Sages proclaimed the end to Prophesy centuries ago, we still hear the prophetic voice today. We hear it from the Biblical Prophets and from voices that challenge our society today. Rabbi Cohen and Rabbi Freedman will begin this lifelong learning opportunity by examining the prophetic texts of Isaiah and Micah for messages that continue to resonate. The class will then explore how the more modern prophetic voice continues to influence modern society through the messages of Abraham Joshua Heschel and others. Finally, participants will examine some contemporary prophetic voices such as Yuval Noah Harari challenging American and Israeli society as well as examining visions of the Jewish future.
