Description: The Prophets and Their MessageA well-structured class in Judaism will not ignore the prophets as a major course of study. Whatever other contributions Judaism has made to civilization, the prophets occupy a unique and distinguished place in the religion, culture, and history of all civilized people. For Jews, it is a gross error to think that it is possible to understand Judaism without knowledge and comprehension of the prophetic messages and the personalities of the prophets who proclaimed these messages. The prophetic message combines religion and ethics. Professor Zvi Adar points out: "In prophecy, religion and morality are so intertwined that those who separate them distort the meaning of prophecy... The prophets themselves demanded, 'The righteous shall live by his faith' (Habakkuk 2,4), i.e. the righteous person is he one who lives and acts according to his faith. Those who stress only the moral-social aim in teaching the Bible will, by implication, be accepting one vital issue in prophecy and rejecting the central and vital one... The Bible is the first and foremost classical creation of the people of Israel. There is no better one through which to give a true Jewish humanistic education... We find in it national, moral, and religious education join together to become elements of humanistic education." - Aharon Kessler
