Description: We tend to think of King David as heroic – the slayer of Goliath and the one who united Israel into one kingdom. But many of David’s actions were disturbingly “un-heroic”. Please join us as we examine the many faces of David, the second King of Israel. This program will be presented by Beverly Rubman and Roslyn Vanderbilt. A kosher lunch will be served and there is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.
This book examines the history of messianic hope and anticipation, its evolution in Judaism and Jewish history, and other interpretations of “messiah” that shed new light on what it means to usher in the “kingdom of God.” This fascinating book is our call to see ourselves as the fulfillment of, not the anticipators of, messianic change. A kosher lunch will be served and there is a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.
