The Power of Change, the Challenge of Teshuva #2 - Collected Talks of David Solomon #99    Video


 
Part two of David's Zoom series, The Power of Change, the Challenge of Teshuva, looks at the idea of individual and collective teshuvah in Tanach.

The lecture examines the story of the prophet Jonah and the teshuvah of the city of Nineveh. David explores different views around the city's repentance and its connection to the divine message entrusted to Jonah for the population. He also discusses Jonah's struggle with the responsibilities placed upon him and his path towards his own teshuvah.

The other story examined in this episode is that of Menasseh, King of Judah. David discusses prophetic passages that deal with Menasseh's repentance and its reflection in the general prophetic narrative on teshuvah.

As always, David provides overall context to these biblical texts and their associated messages. He also reminds us of the opportunities they offer in our own explorations in teshuvah.

This talk was presented online for Caulfield Shule in 2020 as part of its scholar-in-residence program. Other lectures in the series can be found here:
