An ideal course of study before students undertake b'nai mitzvah preparation, The Prophets: Speaking Out for Justice explores the lives of seven prophets and the Jewish values they exemplify. Stories based on biblical texts bring each prophet vividly to life, while narrative provides historical context for considering the challenges faced by the prophets in their own day. Connections to modern-day events and people are explored as well, helping students discover the relevance for today in the ancient messages of our biblical ancestors. Questions throughout the text address students directly, to get them thinking and to draw out their views. CONTENTS:
