Chayei Sarah
Insights of the Prophets: On the Book of Genesis
From the Haftorah Series

Succession to power is the primary theme of both Parshas Chayei Sarah and its Haftorah, but in the case of the Haftorah, which portrays the languishing King David, succession was ridden with discord and rivalry. Rabbi Wein unravels the complicated intrigue within David’s court, bringing life to the impassioned plea of Batsheva that insures the best fate for the Jewish people.
