Shabbat Mahar Hodesh
The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Mahar Hodesh (1 Sam. 20:18-42) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
Despite Biblical commands to honor and revere parents, and despite the respect and loyalty due to a king, Jonathan here is disloyal to his father the king in order to protect and remain loyal to his beloved friend David.
• How do you resolve conflicting loyalties in your own life?
• At what point does unethical, inappropriate or irrational behavior—such as Saul’s rage here—forfeit the loyalty and respect even of family?
