   Eliyahu's Flight (Part 1)

   Rabbi Elchanan Samet

   It is unlikely that Izevel sends a warning to Eliyahu about her intention to kill him in order to provide him with an opportunity to escape. Rather, it appears that Izevel, recognizing the limitations of her power, begins a process of a public trial for Eliyahu, similar to the case of Navot.

2. Izebel, Israel, and the Valley of Yizre'eI

   Rabbi Menachem Leibtag |

   King Ahab, one of the greatest kings of Israel - marries Jezebell, the daughter of the King of Sidon!

   Eliyahu ha'Navi, the greatest prophet of his time is so scared of her, that he runs away to Mt. Sinai and 'resigns' after she threatens him; yet several years later, General Yahu has no trouble finding volunteers to push her out the window to her gruesome death in the Valley of Jezreel.

   In this shiur, we will attempt to make sense out of these and many other strange events in Melachim Bet.

3. Haftarat Vayera: the Widow and the Oil

4. Izebel, Israel, and Jezre'el: What's Going On?

   Rabbi Menachem Leibtag | Hour and 10 minutes

   This shiur examines the state of the nation of Israel under several kings, taking into account superpowers and prophets at each stage. Through a close reading of the text, we explore the causes for success of such kings as Ahab, who doesn't follow the word of God and yet is immensely successful economically and militarily. Furthermore, we examine the three missions Eliyahu is charged with before his retirement, and understand that only after the fulfillment of these three missions would the nation rid themselves of Izebel.
