S1, E28 The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Empire, part 1
from The Great Sources with Rabbi Shnayor Burton · host Rabbi Shnayor Burton
How did the city so full of people become so alone? So begins the great lament, with a question that also hints – in coded language – to an answer. What made Israel a godly nation and what led to their downfall? Seen through the lens of Moshe’s parting speech to his people in the Book of Devarim, the opening cry of Eichah answers this with a complete theology of a holy people, its land and exile.
