The Destruction of the First Temple: The End of Judah & King Yoshiyahu | Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

We were discussing yesterday the Yoshio Hamelik and uh his tragic death because of the overconfidence that he had that the nation was righteous and therefore even though Pyro was not attacking Erit Israel, Pyro was going up north to go through Erit Israel to wage war against Bavl. But uh Yoshio thought that there was a promise in the Tyra that if you keep the mitzvos, a sword shall not pass through your land by a foreign nation. And that meant even if they're not coming to attack you. So he raised an army to block pyro. There was a great encounter in Megiddo and Yoshio was was killed and in his last moments uh he was moduled against his words and uh he died and as I indicated the fourth per of a uh which you wouldn't know Yoshio's name is not mentioned but the fourth per of a which begins how has the gold been dimmed is Yio's hesped for Yoshio Hamelik and he in when the B mikdash happened 22 years later as we will see uh he incorporated that that lament that hespid into the book of lamentations because in retrospect uh the dye was cast in retrospect that was the end because if anybody could have now remember the actual gazera that the basmikis would be destroyed was made in the reign of manasha. Yoshio however had the power to maybe change it had he been successful in the chuva. Uh after Yoshio died uh it was apparent that nobody would be able to stop this and therefore it became part of the hespit. Now there is um as I said there is one of the kinos we're going to recite on tishabove actually tells this story poetically. It's a poetic rendition of of the story in Nak and it
