A LITTLE ABOUT THIS JOURNEY
For many of us, Nach is a topic which has gotten too little attention. Join me on a journey as we rediscover the text, the Mefarshim and the timeless messages. Nach is not about history. It is not even about heritage or culture. Chazal tell us that only the prophecies which are eternally relevent were recorded for posterity. That means that every letter, word and story is speaking to you and me. Let's open it up again and listen to it's message.
