The Haftarah portion for Shabbat Vayetzei (Hos. 11:7–12:12) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
Among the charges the prophet levies against the northern tribes is the self-delusion that their unethical business practices do not amount to "real guilt." For the prophet, this denial of responsibility seems rooted in their material success: having succeeded in attaining wealth and power, they fancy themselves immune from judgment and punishment.
• Do you minimize unethical behavior when it comes to money?
• Do you see an association with wealth and righteousness in our society?
• Do we excuse ethical lapses in individuals or corporations because they are successful?
JTS wishes to acknowledge the generosity of the Jewish Publication Society for allowing us to use their translation.
