II Samuel 15:7-23 STABBED in the BACK by a TRAITOR:

In this exciting class segment, taught on 07/015/25, we devoted time to considering the horrible phenomenon of people who portray themselves as trustworthy, reliable friends and allies -- but who, in truth, are traitors, malicious actors, and double-dealers stabbing their purported "friends" in their backs. It is a challenge we all encounter when trying to give other people the benefit of the doubt, but later learn we are acting against interest, dropping our guards. In the Biblical text, we learn here how King David's son, Absalom, fooled him, gained his trust, and manipulated that opportunity to drive Dad, his father, from the royal palace with all David's family and friends, and proceeded with a full-scale rebellion that aimed to kill them. We saw David uprooted and fleeing for his life, supporters standing by him, others leaving, and prominent people lining up to take sides. And (as always), we learned 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.

(People like to learn about the Bible and about the Judaism that is studied, believed, and practiced by Jews who actually are Judaically knowledgeable and passionate about authentic Judaism and Israel.) #biblestudy #samuel #IIsamuel #tanakh #kingdavid #torahstudy #navi #prophets #evyatar #talmud #gemara #tzadok #absalom #murder #rebellion #kingdavid 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.
