Prophecy and History with Hazzan Marcia Lane ISAIAH: ONE OR SEVERAL? This week, we explore the prophet with the most opaque history and the most prolific literary tradition. Isaiah lived during the rise of the Assyrian Empire, but his writings seem to encompass a much longer time frame. His poetry supplies us with the language for some of our most beautiful piyyutim(religious verse). Click here to register. Click here to watch previous sessions.
