Was Daniel among the last of the prophets or the first of the wise? Is his book about the past, the present or the future? These will be our central questions as we explore this powerful and enigmatic biblical personality. Through examining portions of his story, we will seek to understand the timeless message that Daniel has to offer. This session was given by Rabbi Mike Feuer as part of the Pardes Executive Learning Seminar, Summer 2017.
