About this episode
In this chapter, we speak of three themes: 1. Jeremiah imagines the destruction of king and country and depicts it all in graphic detail, as if he can see it, as if it brings him to tears. 2. Teshuva: When a man falls, he rises up! So why don't my people repent?! Learn from the bird migration. They know when to return! 3. The Loss of wisdom. The guardians of Torah in society - priests and prophets - have failed in their moral guidance.
