Melochim / Part 2
Insights into Tanach

The real heroes in the Book of Melochim are not the kings but the prophets. Rabbi Wein captures the interplay between the prophets Eliyahu, Elisha, Yeshayahu, and Yirmiyahu and the kings to whom they delivered God's message. Because of its recurring themes of the seductiveness of power and the tragic aftermath of corruption, the Book of Melochim remains an ethical guide to Jews in our modern world today.
