Haftorah Chaya Sarah: King David Ensuring Succession (1 Kings, Chapter 1)

What’s said in this shiur

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

good morning everybody good morning this morning's class is dedicated in honor of the birthday of my late grandfather jacob j hecht today he would be 97 years old and therefore we continue to recite psalm 98 in honor of his birthday the after this morning is a riveting story it's a story how king david is on his death bed and now he needs to find the successor who will become the next king of israel his eldest son most eligible son adam yahoo arises and exalts himself to become king he takes the best soldiers and leaders of israel to follow him however the ultimate the ultimate king will be solomon who is only 12 years old at that time and this is the story of torah that before he dies he takes an oath with batsheva and he told bacheva that i promise you that solomon will be the next king what is the connection between the torah and the parsha as you know that the torah was chosen because it expands on the pasha and it illuminates the parsha what are the connections between the torah and the powershell i believe there are at least six or seven connections between the toyota and the parsha and as i've mentioned numerous times it's very important that before we learn after that you do go through the pasha to have a greater and better understanding of the connection between the two first and foremost the torah opens up with the words that the king david was old and he was on in days
