Ep.458: Yonah Ch.1 by Calev Ben Dor | The prophet who runs away, is swallowed by a big fish, who grudingly gives prophecy to a gentile nation, and then to his horror is massively successful!
from Rav Joe's 929 Tanakh Podcast · host Rabbi Joe Wolfson
Yes, we have arrived at the book of Trei Asar that we all know and love. The prophet who runs away, is swallowed by a big fish, who grudingly gives prophecy to a gentile nation, and then to his horror is massively successful!Calev Ben Dor starts us on our Yonah journey - considering the context of when Yonah lived and the king he served, and concluding with suggesting a number of frames with which we can consider Yona, and how the message of the book connects to Yom Kippur, when the story is traditionally read. Most profoundly of all, I found, is the suggestion that the opposite of fleeing (what Yonah does) is to stand before God, understood as the embrace of uncertainty.
