DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
Was Jonah really swallowed up by a big fish? Does God really hold court and determine “who will live and who will die” on these days? Did our ancestors really dispatch a scapegoat into the wilderness on Yom Kippur? The liturgies for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur include passages that are distinctive for these days alone. We anticipate them, recall their melodies, and from time to time, we listen to sermons on them. But we rarely submit them to a close reading and study their origins. Why are they recited on these days specifically? What might they mean for us today? In this workshop, we will study three such passages: the <i>Unetaneh Tokef</i>, the Book of Jonah, which is the <i>haftarah</i> for the <i>mincha</i> (afternoon) service on Yom Kippur, and the <i>Avodah</i> (the recreation of the Yom Kippur Temple ritual).=0D=0A=
