R. Avital Hochstein: Do Moshe's Hands Make War?
Manage episode 431261276 series 3229919
Since October 7, the word "Amalek" has often been invoked in regard to the Israel-Hames War. Is that an appropriate analogy? By looking at ancient responses to biblical verses about Amalek, including those that express discomfort, we can learn these verses anew, revisit the foundational ideas that underlie the verses, and shed light on present realities. Recorded at the Rabbinic Yeshiva Intensive, March 2024.
