23. Royal Succession
from Rear Pew Mirror Hosted by Doug Brook
The world recently lost one of its longest-lived royals, with the laying to rest of the Queen of England. People forget that Judaism has its own history of monarchs. Of course, there's the King of Kings – but even before Elvis there was also the Big G. And in between, until a couple of millennia ago, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel had their own mortal monarchs – including the reign of a queen! And when she reigned, it poured. Here are a few of their more obscure or absurd stories – the kinds they usually skipped in Sunday School even, for those who didn't skip Sunday School. Though if school hadn't skipped stories like this, fewer students might have skipped school. Rear Pew Mirror is the longtime humor column in Southern Jewish Life magazine (sjlmag.com), though by contractual stipulation you can't hold it against them. #JewishHumor #Monarchy #KingdomOfJudah #Ataliah #Queen
