The prophecy of a brighter future lies at the heart of Judaism, and surely helps shape the best of our practice. It is a theme running through Jewish texts from the book of Genesis on down. Addressing key portions from the prophets, Talmud, and medrash, the oral Torah class will begin tracing some of the threads in the messianic tradition, including peace, universalism, justice, and the role of an individual messiah.
