About this episode
# 232 - Jonah & The Beast P. 1 - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, Jonah runs hard from God’s call to show mercy to Nineveh—straight into a storm, a casting of lots, and the belly of a great fish, where rebellion finally turns into prayer. This episode dives into Jonah 1–2 to show how the “belly of the beast” becomes a womb of grace, where teshuvah (return) begins and salvation belongs to the Lord. Episode 232 of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein is inspired by the Book of Joshua.
