wo prophets, Noah and Jonah, seek to escape their responsibilities to help rescue humanity. As a result, both run the risk of losing themselves, one in alcoholic oblivion and the other by falling into a coma-like slumber. Engage in a careful comparison of these two stories and address the question of humanity’s potential for genuine and enduring self-transformation.JUDY KLITSNER is a senior lecturer at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, where she has taught Bible and biblical exegesis for the past 18 years.
