What would Old Testament prophets have to say about modern times? With a balance of wonder and pragmatism, Rabbi Nahum Ward-Lev, scholar-in-residence at Temple Beth Shalom and author of the new book, The Liberating Path of the Hebrew Prophets: Then and Now, explores the continuities between ancient and modern eras, and how the Torah is still a relevant guide for ethics and justice—from bringing marginalized voices to the center of policy and action, to the overarching importance of relationship.
Rabbi Ward-Lev will be launching his book at Temple Beth Shalom on Tuesday, May 21st, at 7pm.
