Prepare for the High Holidays with an in-depth study of the Book of Jonah “one of the shortest, most mysterious and morally ambiguous books in the Jewish canon.” Together we will study the text of Jonah and engage with The Book of Jonah: A Social Justice Commentary by Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz published in 2020. Through reading, discussion and reflection, we will explore themes of the High Holidays such as truth as a value, justice and compassion, our universal and particular obligations, and our human responsibilities in this shared world.

All texts in English and all are welcome. Please RSVP to Rabbi Vinikoor at rabbivinikoor@gmail.com by August 8 to sign up for this class. We will be ordering books at a cost of $19.95 each. All classes meet at the Minnie Brown Center.
