January 18, 2026 Topic:  Let Justice Roll from Micah to MLK: Prophetic Power in Broken Kingdoms

Below the Bible Belt – a partner program led by R. Amichai – is back with part 2 of the successful series from 2022-2025.

What are our roadmaps of  moral imagination? Launching the year-long Judaism: Born Divided? Online Course with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie on MLK Jr. weekend, deciphering biblical and contemporary prophetic voices who speak truth to power when societies fracture. Drawing on the feud between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, we explore how prophets challenged rulers, exposed civil tensions, offered hope and redirected history. How can these powerful legacies shape our own age of political turmoil and moral crisis? This session is taught by Rabbi Amichai, with guest teacher Rev. Derrick McQueen Ph.D.
