In this conversation with Tamar Weissman, we explore the narrative and prose renditions of Devorah's story in Shoftim 4-5, read as this week's Haftorah. We discuss the uniqueness of the enemy and the uniqueness of Devorah as the national leader during this critical period of history. This week's episode has been sponsored by Rabbi Michael and Jeri Laxmeter for the Refuah Shleimah of their granddaughter Avigayil Sara bat Shaina Ahrona. This episode has also been dedicated in memory of Yitzchak Chaim Hacohen ben Yaakov and Chaya by his grandchildren in honor of his yartzeit. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.
