Debate Among the Prophets: Isaiah vs. Jeremiah
Part of ScholarStream, a partnership of the Conservative Movement

How did Isaiah and Jeremiah differ on their views of the Temple and Jerusalem and what does their disagreement teach us about prophecy and about Jewish tradition more generally? Dr. Benjamin Sommer, professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages, JTS, will address these questions.
This session is the third in a series of four lectures, “The Power of the Prophets.”
Individuals can sign up at a cost of $25 for the series or for free with a code from a sponsoring congregation.
