from My Jewish Learning Today's Personality: Welcome back to My Jewish Learning’s Personalities of the Bible email series. We last took a deeper look at the prophet Elisha, exceptional for his ability to speak with God and work wonders, but typical for a prophet. Today, we turn to an atypical prophet: Jonah. Sometimes characterized as “rebellious” or “recalcitrant,” Jonah receives one very clear message from God and then does everything in his power to defy it.
