- Опубліковано 8 вер 2020
- The Book of Ezekiel has been enormously influential on Jewish spirituality for two-and-a-half millennia, including as the foundational inspiration for subsequent Jewish mystical ideas and texts. In this podcast episode, David examines the life and work of the Prophet Ezekiel (Yechezkel), believed to be among the first wave of exiles taken into Babylon.
It is in the Book of Ezekiel, largely set during the Babylonian exile after the destruction of the First Temple, that we find an array of profound concepts about ethical existence and societal responsibility that remain startlingly relevant until today - in particular, we can extract much from Ezekiel’s insights into teshuva and Jewish spiritual practice in times of change and uncertainty.
In this crash course on the prophets of Israel, David also explores remarkable elements of the book, including the extraordinary descriptions of G-d’s chariot and the valley of the dry bones, as well as providing insights into the social, political, and spiritual turbulence of the time.

David,
I watched your six set video on the history of the Jewish people. As you said, it's a history that is unparalleled. Your work is so well organized....so enthusiastically and clearly presented. I am a long time coach and know how important the latter is. To coin a term you are clearly fond of, your stuff is "AMAAAAAZING! I'm 1/2 way though your work on the prophets. Can't get enough.
I'd really like to delve deeper into the subject of Jewish history and was hoping that you had written commercially available books on the subject. A quick check with Amazon and I disappointingly discovered that you have not. Do you have any suggestions for a novice who is eager to learn more....books, authors, etc.?
Thanks for the amazing lecture. I was a bit surprised that many in the audience had not read the whole book. I have devoured it again and again, so I assumed the same for others. The prophets are true giants. The spirit of prophecy that runs through the Tanak is what infuses it with life. I dare say the Tanak would be a relic if not for it’s prophetic life force. We are all indebted to these men.
Hi Steve, sadly not everyone realises how amazing the prophets are to read. You are right, we are very much indebted to them. Regard, Marjorie Solomon
