Iyov Ch. 39 Ilana Stein | From the whirlwind and the question of the ostrich

Iyov #39 - God gives Iyov a description of the wild animals that populate our world - a response that could alternatively aim to overwhelm, humble or calm Iyov.Ilana Stein brings all her love of zoology to our chapter including a wonderful story of the ostrich and Lord Rothschild to explain a peculiar detail. Her recording concludes with a deeply moving quote of Anne Frank about the restorative power of nature. If the group will forgive my sharing of holiday snaps, we currently find ourselves standing at a 315ft 2,400 year old Redwood tree - likely alive when our sefer was written - and the chapters feel wonderfully relevant. In Anne Frank's words, time in nature alone with God is undoubtedly the ultimate solace. Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Job.39?lang=bi
