Lekh Lekha
from The Voice of the Prophet: A JTS Podcast · host JTS
The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Lekh Lekha (Isaiah 40:27-41:16) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman. Questions for Discussion: In this haftarah, Isaiah responds to a crisis of faith among the people, the feeling that their concerns are ignored by God, by reminding them that God is creator of all, and of the history of their relationship with God. • Have you ever felt that God is absent or silence? What reassures you? • Can you reconnect with a sense of God’s presence through the power and beauty of nature? • When it is hard to have faith in God, can you find strength in being faithful to those moments in your own past when you felt God’s presence and care? JTS wishes to acknowledge the generosity of the Jewish Publication Society for allowing us to use their translation.
