Chukat
The Torah Narrative Redux:
In the Times of the Prophets
From the Haftorah Series

God sends the right leader for every generation, and Jefteh, a great warrior lacking in Torah scholarship, was the ideal person to defend the Jews in his times. From his ignominious beginnings to his military victories and his tragic killing of his own daughter, Rabbi Wein captures the human failings that motivated this ambiguous Jewish hero.
