Episode 241 - Parshat Vayera: Expanding our Vessels
In this beautiful conversation with Matan faculty member Rachel Sharansky Danziger, we discuss Elisha's encounter with two women in the Haftorah taken from II Melachim 4. We discuss the subtle theology laced throughout the two episodes as well as the different ways each woman responds to her distress. Both the impoverished woman and the woman from Shunem have what to teach us about the universal nature of struggle and how we can learn to help ourselves, with and without divine miracles. This week's episode has been sponsored in memory of Rose Lubin who was killed defending Jerusalem two years ago from her family in Israel who miss her very much. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
