II Samuel 11:1-3 David and Bathsheba (Bat Sheva) -- the back story (with R. Dov Fischer)

In this segment, taught on 11/26/24, King David dispatches Yoav and the army to complete the destruction of Ammon, while he remains behind to relax in the palace. After a mid-afternoon nap, he strolls onto his palace veranda to enjoy the cool, clear early evening breeze in the Jerusalem hills, and he notices a stunningly beautiful woman emerging from a basin of water on her rooftop across the way. As we study this background, we learn some basic laws of niddah and mikveh, laws of adultery and Sotah, laws of Biblical purity and impurity, and the tradition in Biblical times of soldiers giving Gittin (divorce documents) to their wives as they would depart to go to battle in faraway lands. Our study takes us through Torah verses, classical Biblical commentators, and Talmudic and Midrashic discussions and debates. And (as always) so much more. Along the way, as always, Rav Fischer weaves in some pertinent anecdotes and historical asides, useful maps and some stirring music, along with solid learning. #biblestudy #samuel #IIsamuel #tanakh #kingdavid #torahstudy #navi #prophets #davidandbathsheba #bathsheba Rabbi Dov Fischer of Young Israel of Orange County teaches Tanakh (Bible) every Tuesday night on Zoom at 7:00-8:00 pm Pacific Time. His style is exceptionally unique, mixing text, Midrashim, Classic Rabbinic Commentaries, Movie clips, Music, Maps, and unique insights born of 40+ years as a rav, a highly effective litigation attorney, a law professor, and an opinion columnist and senior editor at The American Spectator and a columnist at another daily online publication, Arutz Sheva/Israel National News. Rav Fischer was ordained at Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), receiving smikha from Rav Yosef Ber Soloveitchik and Rav Norman Lamm in 1981. He received his law degree from UCLA School of Law in 1993 and clerked in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit for the Hon. Judge Danny J. Boggs, then practiced law 10 years at three of America's most prominent law firms: Jones Day, Akin Gump, and Baker and Hostetler. Simultaneously, he was a law professor for 16 years, primarily at University of California at Irvine and at Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. He brings all of that into his Torah teaching. Rav Fischer dedicates all his Torah teaching to Ellen (Groh) Fischer of blessed righteous memory, his partner in life for 20 years until Hashem brought her to Gan Eden (Paradise) by a cancer disease in 2020.
