With the mounting interest in traditional Jewish texts, classes abound in Chumash, Talmud, Tehillim, and the Megillot. Yet the books of Nevi'im - through which a major part of Judaism's special message is transmitted - have been largely overlooked. Using the weekly haftarah as his entry, renowned author Dr. Meir Tamari tackles this challenge, offering original insights and bringing together commentators from the span of Jewish history.<BR><BR>Dr. Tamari's expertise in economics and Jewish ethics lends a unique perspective to his explanations of the prophecies. He provides a detailed review of each haftarah in its historical, geographical, political, and social context. We see how the political realities of the time not only influenced the style and imagery of the prophecies but also serve to emphasize their relevance for our own times: the present-day reality of a Jewish nation living in the Land of Israel.<BR><BR>This comprehensive work covers all of the weekly haftarot, as well as those read on fast days and festivals.
