Segment 4: The Called People
Presenter: Randall M. Falk
God’s call and God’s covenant always go together. The rainbow is the sign of God’s universal covenant for the preservation of life. The twofold covenant with Abraham, the covenant of circumcision and of land, bound the people to God in service and enabled them to live in peace and freedom. The covenant of Torah provided the way of living in service to God and fellow human beings through the moral and ethical law. Jews understand they are a people
chosen not for special privilege but to transmit God’s moral law to future generations.
