Episode 246 - Parshat Vayeshev: Societal Ills Through Amos' Eyes

In this conversation with R. Joe Wolfson, we explore Amos' rebuke of the opulent and socially corrupt N. Kingdom of Israel from this week's Haftorah. A.Y. Heschel, political theorist Michael Walzer, and Louis Brandeis all help connect Amos' criticisms with the ways a society can erase people's humanity and how we might mend this. For more info on R. Joe's community visit the JLIC Tel Aviv website: https://tlv.oujlic.org/ This week's episode is dedicated in memory of Daniel Shalom ben Refael Yaakov, by his children, on his third yahrzeit. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
