The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe

Vayeira – Exodus From Sodom (5782)


Listen Later

For the third time in the Torah, we read about destruction. Previously, the Flood destroyed the world save Noah and family, and the Dispersal ended the universal civilization, and in our parsha we read about the overturning of Sodom and Gomorrah. The timing of Sodom’s destruction is really interesting. Our Sages said that it happened on Passover on the same day that Lot was appointed judge over the city. Why did the city’s destruction coincide with the day that its most famous and righteous citizen became its judge? In this sweeping episode we study the destruction of Sodom, Abraham’s unsuccessful intercession on their behalf, and the events that led up to its demise, and draw powerful lessons from what we discover.
