Martina Gillen: The Life and Undeath of Elijah the Prophet
How did the lonely zealot who called down drought and fire become one of the most beloved figures in Jewish liturgy, invited to every bris, longed for in every home and celebrated in innumerable folktales? The answer is in the story of the life and undeath of the prophet Elijah - the man who stood alone at Sinai. This session explores our traditions around the prophet from Tanach to today.
