The Book of Samuel: Episode 1
Update: 2023-10-17
Description
Whither Malchut
Welcome to our first in a continuing series on the book of Shmuel or Samuel and the founding of Jewish monarchy. This week we introduce the book and what the goal of the work seems to be. We point out the famous question that the authority of the king as depicted in the Torah is extremely limited and is in stark contrast to the god-kings of the ancient world. Where do concepts like mored b’malchut come from and why is it so important to have a limited monarch. All this and more. Thanks for joining us.
Lastly on a personal note I am release this shiur on the first yartzeit of my father, may the Neshama of yaakov ben akiva Nachum have an Aliyah.
