Megillat Eicha And Its Secrets
What does Eicha have to do with the garden of Eden? At first glance, not much. But if we look closer, it turns out that the Megillah is actually echoing language first used in the beginning of Genesis. Could it be that the exile from Jerusalem is somehow connected to the exile from the Garden of Eden? Join Rabbi Fohrman as he explores the Garden of Eden story and its reverberations in Megillat Eicha -- and never think about Tisha B’Av the same way again.
Discover other great Tisha B’Av videos at Aleph Beta, including ‘The Book of Lamentations”, “Sinat Chinam: What is Baseless Hatred ”. And “The Story of King Hezekiah”
