Item Description:

In the Jewish religion we pray for peace three times a day in the silent Amidah prayer and yet we find in the Torah many instances of the Jewish People and the kings of Israel going to war. In fact, you could say that throughout history war was more common and peace somewhat of an abnormality. How does Tanach deal with this dichotomy? What is the Jewish outlook on war in general and how does it affect us today in the modern world? Explore these topics and more in this enlightening lecture from Rabbi Wein.
