Episode 278 - Parshat Ve'etchanan: When God Comforts us and We Comfort Him (Shabbat Nachamu)

This week begins the seven prophecies of comfort chosen from Yeshayahu 40-66, which stretch all the way until Rosh Hashanah. This conversation between Dr. Tanya White and Rabbanit Rachelli Sprecher Fraenkel explores the literal and existential concept of comfort when relating to the Jewish people and to God Himself. What does it look like to have hope after tragedy? What comforts the weary? Our hosts study this famous prophecy in search of responses to these questions. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.
