If you were under the impression that a prophet has an easy job, the life of Jeremiah will change your mind. Eicha was written before the destruction of the Temple, and his dire predictions were seen as nothing less than subversive. Rabbi Wein gives us the background behind Eicha – from Jeremiah’s imprisonment to the structure and symbolism in the verses. With parallels to current events and recent history, you’ll appreciate the text as never before.
