B'shalach / Part I
Israel and Egypt:
In the Eyes of the Prophets
From the Haftorah Series

The great prophetess Devorah, a unique woman in all of Biblical history, led the Jewish people at a time in which they lived as exiles in their own land. Rabbi Wein draws the political and military backdrop of the period of the Judges, describing the shrewdness with which two women – Devorah and Yael – restored the Jews to triumph and security.
