About this episode
Our chapter gives both a "kinnah" - a lament, and a "Nehi" - a dirge, for the demise of Egypt. The Nehi mocks Egypt's place in the She'ol, the Underworld; Egypt would have been particularly concerned about life after death, and here she discovers that she shares an inglorious, impure place in the Afterlife. We discuss the theme of Immortality with an eye to Channukah which we are currently celebrating. Music - "Fame" - Irene Cara
