Some of the most fascinating material in the Hebrew Bible come to us from “the historical books.” These books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, & Kings) tell the story of our people after they reached the land of Israel. We only encounter texts from these books in our Haftarah readings on Shabbat and rarely read them in their entirety. Rabbi Romano invites you to join her in a close reading of the Books of Samuel and Kings exploring the depth and drama of our people’s earliest prophets and leaders.
