For seven weeks after Tisha Be’Av, the weekly Haftarot readings are words of consolation and hope offered by the biblical Prophets. Come join a conversation about the haftarah of Shabbat Nahamu (Shabbat of Consolation), the first of this period. You’ll also hear an update on BJ’s Haftarah Project, which engages BJ members in exploring the challenges presented by some of our prophetic texts. We’ll discuss this week’s haftarah, hear from some of the BJ members who have written essays for the Haftarah project, and talk about how to include a wider group as both writers and readers.
