Holy Conversations: Exploring the Life and Times of King David

Rabbi Joseph H. Krakoff

and 

Archbishop Allen Vigneron

Sundays, August 20, 27 3:30-5pm

The Berman at The J

King David was the second king of Israel. As a poet, musician and composer of the Psalms, he was well-known for his incredible musical acumen. As a skillful warrior, his strength and prowess on the battlefield was unequaled. But King David was also of deeply questionable moral and ethical character. He committed a sin so grave that his reputation was permanently transformed. How do the Catholic and Jewish traditions understand the persona of King David? Is he a hero or merely a sinner?

Do these two great religious traditions overlook or seek to underplay King David's personal miscues as a flawed human being because he was such an important public figure?

Join Archbishop Allen Vigneron and Rabbi Joseph H. Krakoff for two consecutive Sunday afternoon conversations where they discuss, explore and analyze, agreeing and seriously disagreeing the life and times of King David.
