Behukkotai - The Voice of the Prophet: A JTS Podcast

What this episode covers

The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Behukkotai (Jer. 16:19–17:14) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman. Questions for Discussion: Jeremiah’s prophecy here is about the futility and worthlessness of idolatry; grounded as it is in delusion, idolatry leaves one vulnerable and rootless, and ultimately enslaved. Suddenly, in verse 11, the prophet decries those who amass wealth through unjust means, saying they will in the end be revealed as fools. • What is the connection between financial injustice and idolatry? • Why does the prophet describe both as a form of foolishness? JTS wishes to acknowledge the generosity of the Jewish Publication Society for allowing us to use their translation.
