Miscellaneous Books of the Hebrew Bible: The Writings (DRAKE HALL)

The Hebrew Bible includes the Torah and the Prophets, followed by a third section—the Writings—which includes poetry (Psalms, Song of Songs), Wisdom Literature (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes), history (Ruth, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Chronicles), and more. The class will examine the origins, meanings, and Jewish liturgical uses of the books of the Writings. 

Rabbi Hillel Katzir has been offering classes at OLLI-CSU for over ten years on Judaism, the Bible, religion, and the Middle East. His passion is bringing people together across perceived lines of separation, including supporting the work of Israelis and Palestinians who have suffered from the conflict and yet work together for peace.
