One of Judea’s Vanished Villages: Talmud Stories of Tragic Destruction
Inspiring remarkable Talmudic tales about Kfar Sachnaya; a righteous, merry municipality that flourished in Eretz Yisrael after the tragic destruction of the Second Beit HaMikdash. Sadly, in the end they too, were brutally massacred by the vicious Roman armies. Be amazed at the heroes’ and villains who come to life off these pages; a simple man’s chastity that transcends the biblical Joseph, a sudden dip in commodities leads to the apprehension and execution of two rapists, and a Sage’s wisdom saves an innocent woman from defamation. You’ll also garner valuable knowledge about the Jewish marriage and the Ketubah. It ends on a stirring note about our loyalty and undying love for Jerusalem!
