In this class series Rabbi Silber discussed the book of Joshua carefully from a literary perspective, and explored core biblical questions: what does it mean to be a disciple, and how can a student turn into a teacher? Can anyone replace Moses? Does Joshua fulfill the Torah’s commands about conquest of the land? What can this teach us about war and the possibility of peace?
