  1. Yeshayahu 1-2

    Matan Al HaPerek

    Neta Shapira

    Perek 1 of Yishayahu, read in synagogue as the haftara for Parshat Devarim, dramatically oscillates between rebuke and repentance, punishment and salvation, anger and forgiveness. This perek is surrounded by two introductory pesukim (1:1 and 2:1). Many commentators view this perek as a survey of the nation’s problematic religious behavior during the reigns of the four kings mentioned in pasuk 1. This perek thus serves as a representative summary of Yishayahu’s central prophetic messages.

  4. The Symbolic Meaning of Clothing in Tanakh

    Dr. Avigail Rock |

    The Tanakh generally minimizes in the description of detail. Therefore, when we are privy to extra details we always have to wonder why these details are given, as they are always significant to the story. However, when it comes to clothing, the Tanakh often goes into great detail. Why is this? Why does the Tanakh give so many descriptions of specific clothing? By closely examining specific Tanakh texts we can see that clothing plays many roles in the Tanakh narrative, besides being simply what people wore. Clothing has a significant metaphorical meaning as well, reflecting a person’s identity and character. Clothing transfers the identity and emotion of a character, and provides the reader with the much deeper subtext of a story. Therefore, understanding the nature of clothing in Tanakh on a much deeper level can help shed light on the Tanakh narrative as a whole.
