Solomon on Trial: A royal courtroom drama
With eloquence, insight and wit, our barristers draw on arguments culled from traditional sources and contemporary cases. Peppered with some very special guests, this courtroom drama will deepen our understanding of one of our most memorable biblical kings.
Was he Israel’s greatest king or a misguided monarch who foolishly misused his God-given wisdom?
Should King Solomon’s epitaph be that he honoured God by building the first Temple in Jerusalem or that his wealth and many wives turned him to idolatry and mistreatment of his subjects? Once again, we have gathered great legal minds to debate this historic case.
Presiding Judge:
Rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski, Golders Green Synagogue
Prosecution and defence barristers:
Adam Gersch, Barrister, Goldsmiths Chambers
Rachel Marcus, Barrister, 1 Crown Office Row
Caroline Stone, Public Law Barrister, 3PB Barristers
Adam Taub, Lawyer and co-founder of Etgar
