Isaiah 53 | Part 4: Who Confesses Responsibility for the Servant’s Suffering? | Rabbi Kravitz

Isaiah 53 | Part 4: Who Confesses Responsibility for the Servant’s Suffering? What happens when the nations finally confront the truth about Israel’s suffering? Isaiah 53 describes a profound moment of recognition. The nations realize that the suffering they once attributed to God’s rejection of Israel was, in fact, caused by their own hostility, cruelty and persecution. “We all like sheep have gone astray…” Yet throughout centuries of exile, Israel endured — remaining devoted to God and Torah, bringing monotheism and morality to the world, and continuing its mission to be a “light unto the nations.” In Part 4, Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz explores Isaiah 53:4–12 and the extraordinary transformation these verses describe: from persecution to recognition, from moral blindness to accountability, and ultimately toward healing. ▶️ Watch Isaiah 53 | Part 4 and discover these verses in their Jewish context.
