Parsha & Prose: Ekev Through The Lense of ’The Grapes of Wrath’ With Rabbi Gemara and Avrum Rosensweig (Audio)

💠 Welcome back to "Parsha and Prose," where we delve into the weekly Torah portion through the lens of classic literature. This week, we're exploring Parsha Ekev, a portion rich with themes of gratitude and covenant, and comparing it to John Steinbeck’s harrowing novel, "The Grapes of Wrath." Just as Parsha Ekev recounts the struggles and triumphs of the Israelites as they journey through the desert and emphasizes the importance of staying humble and faithful, Steinbeck's narrative of the Joad family's fight for dignity amidst economic despair offers a profound exploration of perseverance and moral integrity. Join us as we unravel how the lessons from Ekev resonate with the Joads’ resilience, and discover how timeless themes of justice, faith, and endurance weave through both the ancient text and Steinbeck's powerful prose.
