Description

Part of a "Yom Iyun" day-long program on Tanach: Book of Illness and Healing. Why does a midrash contend that Eliyahu recycled the altar used by Shaul to sacrifice Amalekite animals, at Mount Carmel? What would have motivated Eliyahu? And why does the text call this an act of "healing" the altar, and what can we learn from this story for healing today?
