Episode 245- Parshat Vayishlach: Esav as Edom and the Space Between
Published 4 months ago
Description
This week's haftorah reading is the one-chapter book of Ovadia- a short prophecy of doom predicting the downfall of Esav's descendants at the end of the First Temple period. In this probing conversation with Rabbbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, we explore the gap between Yaakov and Esav's relationship in Breishit with the retrospective depiction of it in later prophetic and midrashic works.
This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah reading.
