Description

The exciting, frightening preparatory period before the great theophany at Sinai is defined by the Divine Command: "Be ready for the third day..." We explore the motif of the three-day anticipatory period in Tanakh, from Akedat Yitzhak to the eschatological vision of Hoshea - and solve a mysterious Midrash along the way.
