1) FIM-radio (Fred i Mellanöstern) från förra tisdagen, då jag ledde programmet och talade om just relationen mellan Rosh haShana och Jom Kippur och varför man först startar det nya året och sedan har försoningsdagen. Vore det inte logiskt att göra tvärtom? Svaret får vi om vi går tillbaka till världens skapelse...2) Jonahsbok studerade vi i Profetkursen, som jag håller varje måndag kväll kl. 18.30 på Judiska församlingen i Göteborg (ni är alla välkomna att droppa in...). Ann, Ulla och jag hade en mycket spännande diskussion om den bok som vi läser på eftermiddagen av Jom Kippur, under Minchagudstjänsten. Boken utgörs endast av fyra korta kapitel, men, som ni kommer att höra, innehåller den så mycket att fundera över och framför allt diskutera.Klicka här för att läsa boken i den nya bibelöversättningen.
