The Pariah Messiah
About this episode
This episode explores the Talmud's depiction of the Messiah as an outcast and the significance of this portrayal.
The Talmud describes Messiah as a Metzora (one stricken with tzaraas ) bandaging his bandages outside of the gates of Rome. Why is the messiah described as an outcast, as a leper, ostracized from society? Why is Messiah hanging out in Rome, of all places? Shouldn't he be in a location more associated with our people? Shouldn't he be in some place like Jerusalem? In this fascinating podcast, we share a profound insight that will provide a clear perspective on the era of Messiah and how we get there. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
