Episode 281 - Parshat Shoftim

This week's conversation with Dr. Yael Ziegler explores the parallels between this week's prophecy of comfort and earlier, painful images from the book of Eicha that Yeshayahu flips on their head. The prophet also reminds his listeners that God can bring redemption with the same strong arm He used to take us out of Egypt. This episode has been sponsored in honor of the birthday celebration of Dr. Maurice Brygel of Melbourne, Australia. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.
