THE MYSTERY OF JONAH THE PROPHET

Shorashim Torah Study PDF

This study.is not meant only to be read—but to be considered, reflected upon, and revisited.

The Book of Jonah is among the most familiar texts in Tanach,and yet it remains one of the least understood. At first glance, it appears to be the story of a prophet who fled from his mission.But upon closer study, it reveals itself as something far deeper.

It is a study of prophecy—of truth and compassion—of struggle, failure, and return.It is a journey into the inner world of a prophet who could not easily reconcile what he knew to be true with what he was being asked to do.

And, perhaps most importantly, it is a study of teshuvah/repentance,

The structure of this work follows that journey.It begins with the question of Jonah’s flight

Why was he seemingly fleeing from G-d?

Why did G-d seem to be intent on chasing him?

What was truly bothering Jonah?

What was Jonah meant to learn and by so doing impart to us all.

For the questions that troubled Jonah are not his alone. They are, in different ways, our own.
