Behukkotai
The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Behukkotai (Jer. 16:19–17:14) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
Jeremiah’s prophecy here is about the futility and worthlessness of idolatry; grounded as it is in delusion, idolatry leaves one vulnerable and rootless, and ultimately enslaved. Suddenly, in verse 11, the prophet decries those who amass wealth through unjust means, saying they will in the end be revealed as fools.
• What is the connection between financial injustice and idolatry?
• Why does the prophet describe both as a form of foolishness?
