Together and Torn Apart: The First Book of Melakhim

Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot

Wednesdays beginning October 26

8:30pm Eastern

NO CLASS JUNE 14

This  year long course will examine the first half of the book of Melakhim (Kings) using a literary-theological lens to uncover both the local meaning of each chapter and narrative and the overarching messages of this book full of highs and lows of Israelite history. We will engage in close readings of the narratives and make use of traditional and modern studies of this historical-theological sefer.
