Jonah, the Reluctant Prophet

Hosted By: Haberman Institute

A scan of the Books of Israelite Prophets seems to indicate that Jonah, despite his reluctance, was one of the most successful of Hebrew prophets. It is a shame that most Jews only encounter his narrative on Yom Kippur afternoon, at the end of a day of fasting, when perhaps attentiveness is not at its best. Unpack the Book of Jonah and give it the attention Jonah didn’t want.
