Wailing at the Window: What the Shofar Asks Us to Hear
Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Education presents a class examining the rabbinic teaching that the sounds of the shofar echo the sobs of Sisera’s mother. Timed to Parshat Beshalach, the session explores why the rabbis linked a central Jewish ritual to the grief of an enemy figure through close reading of biblical and rabbinic texts. The program considers how these intersecting voices convey themes of memory, transformation, and moral complexity.
