The Spiritual Rehabilitation of Bat Zion in Eichah 1

This lecture was delivered at the Tanakh Study Days sponsored by Herzog Academic College, and is shared courtesy of the HaTanakh.com website.

What is the purpose of Megillat Eicha? This lecture analyses the first perek of Eicha by defining two distinct voices throughout the perek, and highlights the 7-stage spiritual awakening that the characters experience. This allows us to attempt to come to an understanding of the destruction and exile, and brings to light a new interpretation of Megillat Eicha.
