929 is the number of chapters in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible. 929 English is a project dedicated to creating a global Jewish conversation around issues that unite and divide us, but always anchored in or inspired by the Tanakh. Reading through a literary lens, we will examine the books of Samuel II, Kings I, and Kings II, with an eye toward structure, broad themes, and historical/political context. The course will draw upon the daily reflections of 929 writers and contributors and will be taught by Rabbi Adam Mintz, director of 929 English, and Shira Hecht-Koller, Esq., 929 director of education, and Rabbi Jeremy Rosen.

No previous knowledge of the Bible or Hebrew is required.
