Micah (“Micha”) is one of 12 books of Minor Prophets (“Trei Asar)”, marked by their shortness. Speaking during the First Temple period, the prophet berates Israel and its leadership for insincere ritual worship, corruption, and oppression of the poor. He warns of Jerusalem’s destruction and calls for reform in the form of simple and sincere worship: “to do justice, to love goodness, and to walk modestly with your God” (6:8).
