Description
Reclaiming Redemption - Deciphering the maze of Jewish History
History has a beginning and an end; advancing history to its conclusion is called redemption. Redemption isn’t just a prophecy but is a core value of Jewish belief.
To understand the culmination, we must zoom out and take the long view of Jewish history; by exploring prophecies, Chazal, and previous redemptions, we can build a vocabulary of Geulah.
What are the challenges of redemption? What role does land play in religious identity? How do the dramatic revolutions of the past affect redemption?
In this momentous work, we reach back across the generations to hear the voice of our people and their struggle to represent Hashem in this world—and to reclaim the great love between Hashem and His Chosen People.
“There are books that are fascinating to read. There are books that contain timeless messages and eternal insights. This book combines both of these qualities… gives the reader a perspective upon our current time of confusion and of hope tinged with despair.”
Rabbi Berel Wein
