Can a lesser known chapter from Jewish history help repair the widening rupture in Israel and throughout the Jewish world with a model for co-existence? Join Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie for 4 interactive study sessions (stand-alone or consecutive) weaving biblical scholarship, archeology, and politics to explore what the hidden history of the divided Jewish kingdom can teach us about our present and future realities. 

The Kingdoms of Israel and Judah lived alongside each other for over 200 years in the Iron Age, ruled by 45 kings & queens, railed at by 20 prophets, as the tribes worshiped multiple deities. A close reading of this historical chapter in Jewish history brings up a timeless and timely question: What if, only when divided, we survive?

Each of the four sessions is stand-alone, focusing on one story from the history of the divided kingdom, from the early divisions during the time of King David to the final destruction by Babylon.

Sorry - not on zoom!

No prior knowledge is necessary.
