Description

This shiur explores the redemptive qualities inherent in the mothers of Messiah: The Daughter of Lot and Rut the Moavite, as they relate to the destiny and journey of Avraham Avinu. Why were these women - of tainted lineage and backgrounds - worthy to be the grandmothers of Dovid HaMelech and of Melech ha'Moshiach? Why do the questionable, and debased, actions of Bat Lot make her worthy to become the mother of Moav? How do their journeys relate to the path chosen by Avraham, the father of the Umah Yisraelit? The shiur addresses, and answers, these questions - and more - as we prepare for Chag Ha'Shavuot.
