Unveiling Death: Eternity in About 24 MinutesKing David & King Solomon, Flawed and Worthy, Like Us: A Yizkor SermonI offered the following sermon during services for Shavuot, the holiday that celebrates the giving of Torah at Mt Sinai. Shavuot is one of four times during the year that Jews recite Yizkor, prayers of remembrance for loved ones who have died. This sermon considers the complicated lives of ancient Israel's second and third kings, David and Solomon. Both sinned, both struggled, both were close to God.
Thank you to the talented Sammy Weill, Unveiling Death's editor and creative director (and my son).

À la croisée de la critique biblique, de l’exégèse rabbinique et de la Kabbale, de la littérature et de la théologie, de l’histoire et de l’anthropologie, cet essai explore la persistance, la beauté et les dangers des mythe...2024-12-2932 min
