The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Hol Hamoed Sukkot (Ezekiel 38:18-39:16) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
Ezekiel’s apocalyptic vision of the end of days is accompanied by images of terrible violence.
• Does all significant transformation inevitably involve trauma, violence and loss? If so, what sustains us through such turbulent times?
• Can you imagine a more peaceful model of transformational change?
