Episode 274 - Parshat Balak: To Be Dew or a Lion?
About this episode
This episode features a discussion with R. Yaakov Beasly about the Haftarah from the book of Micah and its historical context.
This week we explore the Haftarah from the book of Micah with R. Yaakov Beasly who authored a commentary on Micah in the Maggid Studies inTanakh Series. This conversation explores the time period in which Micah lived, the complexity and tragedy of the Assyrian invasions of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, and what unique message Micah tried to offer the Southern Kingdom during a devastating biblical period. This week's episode has been sponsored by Rivki and Moshe Weinstein in celebration of eleven years of Aliyah. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.
