Accounting and Tragedy
From the Haftorah Series
3 Lectures

Judaism stresses that nations and individuals are held accountable for their words and deeds. These three powerful Haftorot, which are recited on the three weeks preceding the fast day of the Ninth of Av, bring home this basic Jewish value of accountability and the inevitability of consequences for wrongful behavior and the abandonment of Torah values and observance. Sad but vital, these Haftorot represent the stark reality of Jewish history and existence.
