A Book Like No Other

S5 Ep. 2: Shir HaMaalot: Where Do a Father's Tears Go?


Listen Later

The beginning and end of Shir HaMaalot discuss dreams and sheaves of wheat. Where have we heard this before? Rabbi Fohrman and Imu explore the clear parallels between this chapter or tehillim and Joseph - a dreamer and a captive. They discuss Joseph's outpouring of tears, compared to Jacob's persistent weeping, and offer a consoling message that the tears we spill for those we mourn may not be in vain.
