from The Voice of the Prophet: A JTS Podcast · host JTS
The Haftarah portion for Masei (Jer. 2:4-28, 3:4) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman. Questions for Discussion: This second haftarah of rebuke identifies two aspects of national wrongdoing: 1) abandoning God, “the Fount of living water”, and 2) embracing broken cisterns “which cannot even hold water.” • What are the true sources of nourishment and vitality that our society is abandoning? • What values and ways of being do we cling to that will never be sustaining and healthy? • What do we need to do to change course? JTS wishes to acknowledge the generosity of the Jewish Publication Society for allowing us to use their translation.
