Join Adas Yeshurun Herzlia for a free pre-Shavuot learning program on Zoom with Binyamin Cohen and Rabbi Yosef Benarroch, SUNDAY, MAY 16 - 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. 

Binyamin Cohen

II Kings 3: Elisha, Merlin, and the Nature of Prophecy

Prophecy in Tanakh usually just happens. But sometimes it requires facilitation. We'll see how the magic of Merlin, the "fairy stories" of Tolkien, and Biblical prophecy are all cut from the same cloth. We'll explore the story of this chapter, and the concept of prophecy, with the aid of Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy, and the thoughts of JRR Tolkien. We'll see how magic, "fairy stories", and Biblical prophecy are all cut from the same cloth, and a fundamental part of human imagination.

The Torah of fire and water, as seen through the thoughts of Rav Aaron Lichtenstein, z”l
