Angela Gluck: Ketuvim - The Writings at London Jewish Cultural Centre

Angela Gluck looks at Ketuvim, a course that explores the most varied but much neglected and underrated part of the Jewish Bible that is both exciting and enigmatic. It includes Job's probing questions about suffering, Esther's courage and creativity, Daniel's visions of the supernatural, Ezra's radical changes to the nature of Judaism, the everyday wisdom of Proverbs and the glory of the Psalms. The session engages with the historical context of the writings but spends most of the time exploring and interrogating specific texts, the ways in which they have been interpreted and their place in Jewish life.
