The Voice of the Prophet


Vayehi

December 11, 2017

The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Vayehi (1 Kings. 2:1-12) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
The haftarah records King David’s deathbed instructions to his son Solomon, including some unfinished business.
• What values and lessons do you want to pass on to your own children or to the next generation?
• What obligations do you feel regarding your parents’ unfinished business, and the unfinished business of previous generations?
• What do you want to remain faithful to? What do you need to let go?
