Becoming A Prophet - Jewish HaShkafa (127)

"You think you're a prophet?" Perhaps you've heard this snark remark from someone who didn't like what you were saying. Putting the crazies and Looney Tunes aside, the real question is whether it is possible for you to become one? The Chazon Ish's Jewish Hashkafa begins a whole new chapter about prophecy, and here we can begin to answer the question, and perhaps even prepare ourselves for some interesting tasks ahead.
