After-Birkat HaMazon learning at Netivot Shalom this Shabbat:
"The Prophet's Wife: Hosea and Theological Monogamy"
with Rabbi Menachem Creditor
The biblical book of Hosea frames the covenantal relationship between the Jewish People and God as similar to that of spouses. And when Israel strays from God, the prophetic language is one of betrayal. Hosea is led to reenact this dynamic of faithlessness in his own life, leading the reader to wonder: is there hope? can love endure? what does God need? is that a workable theology for a modern Jew? Come join the text-study/conversation this Shabbat in the library of Netivot Shalom following Kiddush!
