Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller |
| Concluding her series on Megillat Eicha, Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller
discusses the final perek of the megilla. In this chapter, Yirmiyahu
speaks of the helpless, weakened state of the Jewish people under the
ravages of the Churban. He states that it is the destruction of the
Temple, not the physical suffering of the Jews, that is the greatest
source of sorrow. The megilla ends with a plea to Hashem to return His
people to their former glory, for they have suffered enough. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |
