A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Dr. Jeremy Rosen
EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY: Congregation Or Tzion
ABOUT THE EVENT:
King David: Man of War and Politics, Man of God, Man of Contradictions. Based on a close reading of the Books of Samuel.
No biblical character is described in such detail as King David with all the complexities of his character and the range of his responses to the challenges he faced of escaping Saul, ruling a country, a family and himself. One opinion in the Talmud is that he never sinned. Is that position sustainable?
