From Exile to Redemption: The Last Biblical Prophets of Israel
Temple Sholom Lifelong Learning with Rabbi Emeritus Gerry Walter
​
Following the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE, the Jewish people faced decades of exile, uncertainty, and profound change. With the return to Judah and Jerusalem came renewed hope, the rebuilding of the Second Temple, and the voices of three remarkable prophets: Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
Join Rabbi Emeritus Gerry Walter for a fascinating exploration of this pivotal period in Jewish history. Together, we will discover how these final biblical prophets inspired and challenged the Jewish people, offering messages of faith, perseverance, responsibility, and redemption that continue to resonate across generations.
Whether you have studied Torah for years or are simply curious to deepen your understanding of Jewish history and tradition, this engaging course offers an opportunity to learn, ask questions, share perspectives, and connect with others through meaningful Jewish learning.
