Part 7: The Joy of Salvation
Sep 28, 2024 • Rabbi Ira Brawer
Do you have the joy of salvation? In this last of the haftarot of consolation we will look at the ultimate purpose of God for Israel, which is to rejoice in His salvation, that she is no longer to feel "forsaken" or "desolate". God expresses His deep love and even His rejoicing over Israel in this portion. In the same way we are to rejoice in our salvation and be filled with His joy, a fruit of the Spirit, even as He loves and rejoices over us.
