The Great Sources with Rabbi Shnayor Burton

S1, E28 The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Empire, part 1


Listen Later

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.
