Kingmakers: How Judah and Joseph Earned the Throne
Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe
Our nation has two houses of monarchy: Joseph and Judah. Joseph was, of course, king of Egypt. David, king of Israel, descended from the tribe of Judah. Following David, all legitimate kings of our people descended from the Davidic line from the tribe of Judah. Our nation is yearning for Messiah. Our sages tell us the Messiah comes in two flavors: Messiah Ben-Joseph from the tribe of Joseph and Messiah Ben-David from the tribe of Judah. Where did these two tribes earn the throne? In this interesting and sharp podcast, we explore a fascinating set of verses in the Psalms that we recite during the Hallel, and learn a fantastic secret about what it takes to be a king and the power that comes with the monarchy. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php .
