In this month’s Great Texts of America, we will discuss Ursula K Le Guin’s short story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” We look at this thought-provoking and tragic story through the lens of current events and modern culture, and study it using the same skills and devices we use to study Torah. Click here to read the story, and here to volunteer to bring bagels!
