Ep. 412: Yechezkel Ch.16 by Yael Shahar | One of Yechezkel's most famous and beautiful chapters.

A description of Israel's history from God's point of view, the foundling abandoned in filth, raised up to greatness, whose very success threatens to undo them. Yael Shahar offers a moving and eloquent reflection on the poetics and politics of Yechezkel's vision of that history - the significance of the humble origins and the danger of arrogance that comes with abundance and success.

This was too depressing for me to record a piece on on Yom Ha'atzmaut, so I'll allow you all to read it in your own time. " - Rabbi Joe Wolfson https://www.sefaria.org/Ezekiel.15
