Prophetic (adj.)
prə-ˈfe-tik
The active reframing of Jewish wisdom to transport people into a new and compelling vision for timely moral action and a spiritual conviction of the Interbreathing of all life.
Made for this moment.
The world stands where the ancient Israelites stood at the climax of Exodus: Ahead, a roiling Reed Sea and an Unknown Wilderness. Behind, the hoofbeats of Pharaoh’s Army. From climate catastrophe to white supremacy, economic exploitation to patriarchy, we face an intertwined and existential spiritual “super-crisis.” Through prophetic justice campaigns and thought-leadership, The Shalom Center mobilizes and inspires American Jews to take bold steps into a new world of love and justice.
Let’s grow a new world together.
Check out our upcoming opportunities to uplift, strengthen, and renew Judaism’s prophetic tradition.

“Rabbinic Judaism claims that prophecy ended some 2,000 years ago. We reject that notion and believe that each of us has the capacity to act prophetically.” -TSC 2.0
