The Prophet Obadiah foretells the destruction of Edom. Edom, the descendants of Esau, are an example of the pride of nations that oppose God. The bottom line of the book of Obadiah is God hates pride and loves humility.

Part 4 of The 12 is the Prophet Obadiah.

Habakkuk

March 28, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg, Aybars Uckun

Habakkuk reminds us that every person, even a prophet, struggles to believe that God is good when there is so much tragedy around us. Habakkuk's short letter is in the literary style of lament, and it ends with the great hope and joy that we can find in God, who saves us! We recorded this conversation a week before the "Stay-at-home" order in Washington, and it certainly speaks hope into our current circumstances. Habakkuk is Part 12 of The 12.

Hosea

March 21, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg, Aybars Uckun

Hosea is a strange story of a prophet who marries a prostitute that God uses to compare His relationship with His people. Hosea speaks into the 21st century with a megaphone: "God loves you more than your sin can condemn you." Join us as Rabbi Matt and Rabbi Aybars discuss Hosea in a time of change in our world due to the coronavirus. Hosea is part 11 of the series The 12.

Joel

March 14, 2020 • Matt Rosenberg, Aybars Uckun

Calamity forces people to pay attention to what really matters. In this chaotic time of so many things being canceled due to COVID-19, including our regular Shabbat Gatherings, it is reminiscent of a swarm of locust that destroyed everything at the start of the book of Joel. What do we do when we face crisis that changes everything? The prophet Joel gives us some wonderful answers!
