Season 4
Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Tonight, all of Israel waits breathlessly.
On הוֹשַׁעְנָא רַבָּה — the night of sweetening judgment — hearts tremble and lips whisper the same plea: that our brothers and sisters be returned, that harsh decrees melt into mercy.
In this special lecture from אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, delivered exactly two years after the tragedy that began on שְׁמִינִי עֲצֶרֶת תשפ״ד, Rabbi David draws us into the mystery of the five willow strikes — the five final letters of the Hebrew alphabet — and how each one transforms divine judgment into compassion.
Join us for The Five Strikes of Mercy — Sweetening Judgment on the Soft Earth — a journey from sorrow to renewal, from the closed gates of exile to the dawn of redemption
