Ep. 7 - Shoftim Part 5 – The Dark Days of Micha and the Pilegesh

Jun 30, 2025

12:51

In one of the darkest chapters of Sefer Shoftim, we encounter a time when there was no king in Israel—and no boundaries. Part 5 of Nach Stories brings two haunting episodes to life: Micha’s homemade religion, led by none other than the grandson of Moshe Rabbeinu, and the gruesome tale of the Pilegesh who was betrayed, leading to a civil war that nearly erased an entire tribe from Klal Yisrael. Through immersive narration and rich sound design, this episode explores what happens when a society has no leaders, no accountability, and no clarity between right and wrong. These stories are raw, real, and recorded in the pesukim with painful detail—for a reason.

Melachim 2 – Lesson 04 – Miracles of Elisha HaNavi; Habakuk HaNavi and the Blessing of Techiyat HaMeytim; Rav Anan; Syrian General Na’aman

Apr 15, 2022

35:25

03:55 – The blessing of techiyat hameytim (revival of the dead) in the shemoneh esrey is called birkhat gevurot. 05:55 – One of the 16 miracles done by Elisha HaNavi was to save yeshiva students from poisonous soup by adding flour to the pot. *07:43 – Elisha HaNavi accepts the offering of Bikurim (First Fruits), even though this mitzvah is only done in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple). Through this we learn that a gift of food to a talmud chochom is equivalent to performing the mitzvah of Bikurim in the Beit HaMikdash. Miraculously, 22 loaves of bread provided enough to feed 2200 students. 13:31 – (Based on Ketubot 105b): Rav Anan refused to accept a gift that seemed to be a bribe וְשׂוֹנֵ֖א מַתָּנֹ֣ת יִחְיֶֽה – “He who hates gifts will live” (Mishlei/Proverbs 15:27). Although he disqualified himself from the case, he was still held responsible for the ensuing failure of justice. 23:10 – Tefilah (prayer) as a korbon (sacrifice). By learning about the different sacrifices, a person is credited with actually giving these sacrifices. 24:41 – Miracles of Elisha HaNavi – the second case of techiyat hameytim – introduction. 25:52 – The account of Elisha HaNavi and the Arami (Syrian) general Na’aman, who was stricken with leprosy (Part 1) .

Melachim 1 – Lesson 01 – Dovid HaMelech Transfers the Kingship to Shlomo HaMelech

Nov 7, 2021

39:30

00:00 – In his later years, Dovid HaMelech took Avishag as a concubine. He already had the permitted number of wives but he did not divorce any of his previous wives in order to marry her because 1) the Torah does not favor divorce, although it’s permitted; and 2) this union was not physical. 03:55 – Adam HaRishon gave 70 years of his own life to Dovid HaMelech. Why that number? 07:12 – There are ten sefiros (levels) of kedusha (holiness): three upper levels and seven lower. Adam gave 70 years corresponding to the seven lower sefiros. 08:37 – However, since these 70 years were spiritually incomplete, the tikkun (correction/completion) of these years came from: Avraham Avinu (five years), Yaakov Avinu (28 years), and Yosef HaTzaddik (37 years). Why did Yosef give so many years, while no years were given by Yitzchak? 11:18 – There are two moshiachs (anointed king of Israel): Moshiach ben Yosef and Moshiach ben Dovid. 13:40 – Dovid HaMelech lived 70 years, passing away in the afternoon of his 70th birthday, (Shavuos). 15:18 – On Dovid HaMelech‘s last day, he spoke with his son Shlomo (Solomon) to insure that Adonyahu and Yoav would not be able to take over the kingdom. 16:58 – Nasan HaNavi (Nathan the Prophet) advises Dovid HaMelech‘s wife, Basheva (Batsheva) to intercede on behalf of her son Shlomo. 19:42 – Dovid HaMelech‘s final words and requests. 21:14 – Shlomo HaMelech‘s first acts as king included fulfilling his father’s commands to bring Yoav and Shimi Ben Gera to justice. *23:51 – Yoav fled to the mishkan (tabernacle), but it did not serve as a sanctuary. Dovid HaMelech had placed a curse on Yoav and his family, but that curse eventually plagued the descendants of Dovid. Whoever wishes evil for another endangers himself. It is better to be cursed than to curse. 24:56 – Shmiras HaLoshon (guarding one’s speech) is a central Torah law. Speech has irrevocable power, and misusing it brings serious and far-reaching consequences, even for a tzaddik and his descendants. 31:29 – Adonyahu asks permission to marry Avishag. *39:03 – Shlomo HaMelech (King Solomon) was crowned while his father, Dovid HaMelech (King David), was still alive. A question of Torah law arises when Dovid HaMelech is nistalek (passes away) on Shabbos, when it is forbidden to move a dead body. How the expression “Better to be a live dog than a dead lion” alludes to the fact that tefilas chatzos (the midnight prayer) counteracts negative forces. How Dovid HaMelech‘s histalkus on Shabbos can strengthen our faith that a tzaddik never abandons Am Yisrael (the People of Israel).

Shmuel 2 – Lesson 7 – Dovid HaMelech, Census and Plague, The Power of Sefer Tehillim, Purchase of Beis HaMikdash Site

Oct 31, 2021

34:35

05:07 – Benayahu ben Yehoyada – “He went down and killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day” (II Shmuel/Samuel 23:20) – immersions in an ice-covered mikveh. 11:02 – Dovid HaMelech (King David) wishes to taste the water of the Plishtim and his generals risk their lives to get it for him. 16:05 – It is prohibited to count Jews. Taking a census caused a deadly plague during the reign of Dovid HaMelech. The king is given a choice as to what punishment will be given. לְהַגִּיד כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֣ר יְהֹוָ֑ה צ֜וּרִ֗י וְֽלֹא־עַוְלָ֥תָה (כתיב עַלָ֥תָה) בּֽוֹ “…and there is no wickedness in Him” (Tehillim/Psalms 92:16). 20:19 – The prophet Gad confronts Dovid HaMelech about the census and its consequences. 22:59 – The mercy of Hashem is shown in His promise that the Jew will outlast all His “arrows”. *25:59 – When the plague reaches and strikes Jerusalem, Dovid HaMelech prays on behalf of his people. His suffering enables him to compose the universally powerful words of Sefer Tehillim. 28:01 – The ten types of song in Sefer Tehillim. 30:50 – Dovid HaMelech insists on paying money for the site of the future Beis HaMikdash, even though the non-Jewish owner of the land, Aravna, offers to give it for free. 32:53 – The first mishna in Kedushin is about ownership, property, acquisition. Women have more emunah (faith) than men. 33:59 – The death of Avishai.

151

Shmuel 2 – Lesson 6 – Serach Bas Asher, Qualities of a Soulmate, Dovid HaMelech Captured by Yishbi and Rescued by Avishai

Oct 9, 2021

42:48

00:00 – Sheva ben Bichri, a rebel against the monarchy of Dovid HaMelech (King David), takes refuge in the city where Serach bas Asher lives. She saves the city by delivering his head to Yoav, the general of Dovid’s army (II Shmuel/Samuel, 20). 32:38 – Dovid HaMelech is captured and almost killed by the brother of Golias (Goliath), the giant Yishbi beNov. 35:05 – Avishai, on his way to rescue Dovid HaMelech, kills Yishbi’s mother, Orphah (sister of Rus HaMoaviah). 36:50 – Avishai rescues Dovid HaMelech

152

Shmuel 2 – Lesson 3 – Proofs from the Zohar HaKodesh that Dovid HaMelech Did Not Sin; Demons; Defeat of Ammon; Shunning Non-Jewish Styles

Sep 18, 2021

39:45

00:00 – The angel Dumah is appointed over Gehinnam. He demands the soul of Dovid HaMelech (King David) but Hashem Himself tells him: “Dovid HaMelech did not commit a sin, he is pure.” 05:46 – Another proof of Dovid HaMelech‘s innocence brought in the Zohar HaKodesh is related to the statement made about Avraham Avinu, “bah beyomim” (arriving with his days). The teshuvah of someone returning to Judaism from a distant background proceeds more quickly than the teshuvah of a tzaddik. 16:40 – New shiur begins. Dovid HaMelech yearns to build the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple). Hashem tells Nasan HaNavi to tell Dovid that although the kingship of Israel will never be taken away from him and his descendants, even so – the Beis HaMikdash will be built by Dovid’s son, Shlomo (Solomon). 20:14 – Demons are half-human, half-supernatural descendants of Adam. These beings can fly and can turn themselves into different forms. They are born, reproduce, and die. 23:56 – Reference to the story in Gittin about Shlomo HaMelech and Ashmedai. 24:15 – Hashem tells Nasan HaNavi to rush back to Dovid HaMelech. From this we learn the importance of zrizus/enthusiasm, quickness to do a mitzvah. 27:57 – Dovid HaMelech kills the kings of Ammon in retaliation for their treachery in murdering Dovid’s family. 28:46 – Name of King David’s mother is not mentioned in the written Torah but it appears in the Talmud. *30:20 – Shmuel 2 – Perek 10. To disgrace the emissaries of Dovid HaMelech, the son of Ammon orders that their beards should be half shaven off. Here Rabbi Rosenfeld z”l comments on the importance of not following the styles of non-Jewish culture, particularly citing the Torah tradition against allowing the hair on the top and back of a man’s head to grow long. 36:52 – Yoav attacks Ammon but gives the victory to his king, Dovid. 38:08 – Although Dovid HaMelech was victorious in many battles on behalf of Israel, he was not granted peace in this world. Introduction to the rebellion of his son, Avshalom.

153

Shoftim – Lesson 2 – Chavos Yair, Yiftach, Boaz, Rus, Mashiach, Intro. to Shimshon

May 23, 2021

40:22

00:00 – Peace in Israel under the leadership of Tolah ben Puah from the tribe of Yissachar. 00:40 – The next leader was Yair HaGiladi of Shevet Menashe (East). He called the villages of his sons “Chavos Yair” to commemorate Yair ben Menashe, who had no children. Why does the Torah mention this? The true offspring of tzaddikim are the Torah and maasim tovim (good deeds) they bring to the world. “Chavos Yair” (gematria is 635: 613 mitzvos plus the 22 letters of the Torah). 05:56 – Jewish emunah (faith) faltered and as a result Hashem allowed the nation of Ammon oppressed them. 07:31 – Hashem refused to help Israel because of their idol worship, but Am Yisrael continued to beg Him to return to them. 08:57 – “Lam’natzeach” in Tehillim alludes to Hashem‘s “defeat” through prayer, teaching us that no one should ever give up hope, no matter what the circumstances. 10:40 – Yiftach, arises from humble beginnings to become a fierce defender of Israel. The Jews are forbidden to make war against Moav because Rus would come from that land. 13:55 – Ammon declares war against the Jews. 17:00 – Sichon, king of Amori and Og, King of Bashan were supernatural giants. They had survived the flood of Noach. Yiftach refuses to give back trans-Jordan and the army of Israel was victorious even though they were greatly outnumbered. 19:52 – Yiftach’s vow to sacrifice the first thing he meets after the battle if he is victorious. 23:14 – Did Yiftach actually sacrifice his only daughter? The Zohar says yes. Because of Yiftach‘s refusal to meet with Pinchas, Kohen Gadol, his daughter lost her life. Both men were punished severely by Hashem for their stubbornness. 28:38 – Civil war with Ephraim. 30:03 – The origin of the term for a password: “shibboleth.” 32:03 – Aftzon/Boaz and Rus and the origin of Mashiach in spiritual purity. 35:36 – Lineage of Shimshon HaGibor (Samson). 37:34 – Elon and Avadon.

154

Shoftim – Lesson 1 – Gidon

May 16, 2021

43:12

00:00 – Review of the beginning of Sefer Shoftim. 03:00 – “You cannot reach the limit of Hashem’s patience and kindness.” – Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld z”l 04:00 – An angel appears to Gidon ben Yoash, (from the tribe of Menashe). 11:20 – Hashem commands Gidon to destroy an alter to Baal and receives an additional name: Yiru-Baal. He asks and receives Divine proof that he should amass an army against Midian. 18:00 – A selection of soldiers is made by testing them in drinking at a river. Only 300 of 10,000 soldiers didn’t get down on their knees to drink. “At no time should a Jew get down on both knees.” – R’ Rosenfeld. 23:00 – Meaning of the Midianite soldier’s dream about the loaf of oat bread. 26:00 – In panic, the Midianite soldiers destroyed one another. Gidon pursues and kills the two kings of Midian. 30:00 – Gidon refuses to accept kingship over Israel. His half-son Avimelech instigates a rebellion and killed 69 of Gidon’s 70 sons. Only the youngest son, Yosam (Jotham), remained. 38:00 – Yosam tells the parable of the thorn to the people of Shechem who had joined Avimelech’s rebellion. 40:00 – Avimelech is killed and temporary peace for the Jews returned until they fell away from Hashem again. “Each Jew can find himself in the words of the Navi because [like the People of Israel] he [personally] goes through these periods of elevation and descent.” – R” Rosenfeld z”l.

155

Yehoshua 2

May 9, 2021

44:39

00:00 – After the passing of Yehoshua, the first of Israel’s judges – Osniel ben Kenaz – takes command.

156

Yehoshua 1

May 2, 2021

44:56

00:00 – The Battle of Yericho (Jericho). The unusual faith of Rachav in protecting the People of Israel shows how a person who comes from the lowest depths can rise to the highest spiritual levels. “There’s no such thing as a person having passed the point of no return.” – Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld z”l. 06:00 – Why didn’t Yehoshua/Joshua have any sons? This was a punishment for having stated a Torah law in front of his teacher, Moshe Rabbeinu. The Zohar, however, says that Yehoshua did no sin. 08:30 – The battle of Ai and the death of a Jewish warrior who was “like” 36 men – Yair ben Menashe, even though Hashem had assured Israel they would be victorious. Why this casualty? 11:00 – The lottery to find the person who disobeyed the commandment not to loot the city of Yericho. 12:30 – “No matter how bad his behavior, a Jew still retains the holy title of Jew.” – Rabbi Zvi ARyeh Rosenfeld z”l. 13:00 – The lottery is arranged because Hashem refuses to speak Loshon Hara (evil report) about a Jew. The culprit – Achan – is found and he confesses. 16:00 – The power of viduy (confession). 17:00 – The strategy against the city of Ai that led to victory was used by the Israeli army in the war of 1967. 18:00 – The importance of establishing and upholding effective judicial system to combat evil. Judges who are too liberal and show mercy when it’s not warranted are themselves criminal. 24:50 – The deception of the inhabitants of Gibeon in offering a false treaty of peace. 29:00 – Yehoshua commands the sun to halt during the battle against Gibeon.
