This week on edJEWcation, we crack open the Book of Joshua — swords, spies, shofars, and all — to kick off our brand-new series on the books of the Hebrew Bible beyond the Torah.

Jay, ChayaLeah, and the Rabbi break down how Joshua, Moses’ humble sidekick-turned-general, led the Israelites into the land of Israel with nothing but faith, grit, and some serious divine backup. From the walls of Jericho crumbling to the sun standing still mid-battle, Joshua’s story isn’t just ancient history — it’s a masterclass in courage, community, and the art of not messing up the inheritance paperwork.

We dig into:

⚔️ Why Joshua’s real superpower wasn’t military genius — it was courage (and trust in God)

📜 What Rahab, the Canaanite prostitute-turned-heroine, teaches us about redemption and surprises

🌅 The day the sun stood still — and why God actually listened

🏘️ How dividing up the land of Israel turned into the Bible’s version of a family estate drama

✡️ Why the message of Joshua feels surprisingly current — especially in moments of Jewish vulnerability today

Join us for a lively conversation on faith, leadership, and the messy, miraculous business of building a nation. And yes, we even squeeze in a beeper-Mossad reference, because why not?
