Journeys Through the Books of the Prophets - Melachim 2 - Part 11

In this final installment of the Journeys Through the Books of the Prophets series, we conclude our study of the second book of Kings by delving into the hidden history of King Menashe through the lens of the Gemara in Sanhedrin. This session explores the radical power of Teshuvah (repentance), the surprising scholarly depth of Israel's most controversial kings, and the deep philosophical paradoxes of free will and divine providence. 📖 Chapters 00:00 - Series Conclusion and Pesach Announcement 01:45 - Re-evaluating the Kings through the Oral Tradition 04:30 - The Mystery and Meaning of Menashe’s Name 07:30 - The Debate: Did Menashe Merit the World to Come? 10:30 - The Danger of Discouraging Repentance 13:00 - Analyzing the 55-Year Reign: 33 Years of Teshuvah 16:45 - Tunneling Through Heaven: The Meaning of "Vayechater Lo" 21:00 - Analyzing Kings Yehoiakim and Tzidkiyahu 26:45 - The Philosophy of the Wise Man and the Fool 32:00 - Baal Shem Tov: God as Your Shadow 38:00 - Understanding the Intense Ancient Pull of Idolatry 43:00 - Final Blessing for Pesach and Redemption 🔗 Connect With Us: Please Join Our Live Classes: https://thetrugmans.com/events-ohr-chadash/ Learn More At: https
