They are My Children, Too: Empathy in Jewish Biblical Commentary

January 24, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Facilitated by Rabbi Enid Lader

Ex. 13:17-17:16 includes “The Song of the Sea” – basically an ancient epic poem that details the glory of God’s victory over Pharaoh and his army. Judges 4:4-5:31 recounts Deborah’s military victory. Rabbinic insights on both of these texts bring out the humanity of all – Jews and non-Jews.
How can we learn from this today?

$15
