Following Shabbat morning services and a sit-down kiddish lunch, stay for a lively, interactive teaching about Second Isaiah with Rabbi David Weiner, spiritual leader of Knesset Israel.

Isaiah chapters 40-56, the source for most of the haftarot we read at this season, is an exceptionally rich part of the Tanakh. Together we will explore some of the prophet's core arguments and themes, which continue to shape Judaism to this day. Why are these passages so upbeat and comforting? What new ideas about God, covenant, and Israel do they seek to teach? Why do we call their author 'second Isaiah', and how might his writing inspire us in uncertain times?
