Rabbi David Fohrman – Prophet on the Run: Yonah and Yom Kippur
In this class, Rabbi Fohrman raises two major questions on the book of Yonah:
1) Why does Yonah run? Doesn’t he know that running from God is futile, especially as he’s a prophet?
2) What message does he learn at the end of the book (with the story of the tree)? How does this message connect to Yom Kippur?
The rabbi discusses four possible answers, then knocks out each in succession, eventually positing his own theory.
Recorded on Sunday Sep. 20th, 2015 at 10:00 AM in Congregation Hochma U’Mussar, Brooklyn, NY, 11223. -
