Finding the Voice of the Voiceless in the Hebrew Bible with Michal Lemberger @SoL Center

REGISTER BY JULY 14

What can we learn by looking at the biblical stories of those who were voiceless? We will look past the “winners”—especially King David—to those whose lives are more complicated by loss, betrayal, and politics. Discover what these stories tell us about the text of the Hebrew Bible and our own culture with poet and scholar Michal Lemberger.
