The Haftarah portion for Pesah Day 2 (2 Kings 23:1-9, 21-25) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
This haftarah tells of a communal return to core principles, values, and practices as prescribed in the Torah, as well as the destruction of all the instruments of idolatry that had captivated and distracted the people, leading them astray.
• What are the “idols” that enrapture and delude us today?
• Can a return to Torah study and religious practice help discipline us so that we’re not seduced by false gods?
