Ep. 451: Amos Ch.2 by Aliza Libman Baronofsky | The prophet accuses Ephraim of taking advantage of the weak and the innocent - a theme which will recur.

Delighted to welcome back Aliza Libman Baronofsky who describes how Amos's critique skilfully weaves references and allusions to the Torah's obligations of how to treat those who are unable to protect themselves - connecting well to my audio yesterday that the way the nevi'im give their critiques is to use the terms and references of Am Yisrael's history to show them that they are not living up to their mission.
