# 254 - The Chosen People Return - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, Prophets Haggai and Zechariah rouse a stalled people as King Darius’ decree clears the way to finish the second temple—yet God soon sends Ezra, a Torah-scribe, to confront hearts that have grown cold. With scrolls in hand and tears on the temple steps, Ezra leads Israel into costly repentance and true return, turning rebuilt walls into renewed worship.

Episode 254 of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein is inspired by the Book of Joshua.
