Traditionally, we read the Book of Jonah on Yom Kippur because it forces us to face a hard question: do we want God’s mercy only for ourselves—or also for our enemies?

Jonah wanted wrath for Nineveh. God wanted mercy. And if we’re honest, most of us live with the same tension: mercy for me, wrath for them.

But here’s the truth: if God’s mercy isn’t wide enough for our enemies, it isn’t really mercy at all. 

Join us for Part 3 of The High Holidays & Jonah: Mercy & Wrath on Yom Kippur!
