  1. Chapter 23:Yehoshua Addresses the People

    Rabbi Michael Hattin

    The final two chapters of Sefer Yehoshua constitute Yehoshua's parting words to the people of Israel. There are two discrete addresses contained in these chapters, the last offered at a great assembly of the people at Shechem, and ours communicated to the people at an unnamed location. In both, Yehoshua employs the oratorical conventions of encouragement and warning, inspiration and rebuke. God's providential care of the people is recalled, His unwillingness to brook their disloyalty evoked. This lesson will explore the similarities of Yehoshua’s address to Moshe’s parting speech.

  2. Chapter 24:Yehoshua's Final Address

    Rabbi Michael Hattin

    This lesson will analyze the final chapter of Yehoshua, which describes Yehoshua’s final words to the nation before his death. What is most remarkable about Yehoshua's address is that he has distilled his presentation of the rich and full account of Israelite history into a single irreducible notion: be counted among those who follow God and faithfully fulfill His commands in order to succeed and prosper, or else abandon Him and His ways to betray Israel's unique destiny and perish.

  3. Na'aseh Ve'nishma & Sefer Habrit: What Did We Know & When?

    Every year on Shavuot we talk about the significance of the fact that when Bnei Yisrael were offered the Torah, they said "Na'aseh venishma" - "we will do and we will listen." Why are we so enthralled by this, and are we really so enthralled by the acceptance of the Torah before even knowning what the Torah said?

     When did Bnei Yisrael make this declaration - before the Torah was given, afterward, or something else?  From where does the "gvura" of this declaration come from? And what does was the "Sefer haBrit" that came up in the Covenant of the Basins?

     

  4. The Journeys of Avraham and Yaakov and the Purpose of Conquering the Land

    Dr. Yael Ziegler | 30 minutes

    In many ways, Yaakov's journey in Canaan is very similar to Avraham's journey. But Yaakov seems to stay in Shechem for too long. Why does Yaakov stay in Shechem? By comparing the stories of Yaakov's and Avraham's journeys, and noting echoes in the Book of Yehoshua, we gain insight into the purpose of inheriting the Land of Israel: it is not only to develop a national homeland, but to disseminate a national idea-- the Divine mission of the People of Israel.
