Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the second and final class on the subject of “The Prophet and Consolation.” Last week we discussed the origin of our custom to read seven passages of consolation from prophet Isaiah following the fast of Tish b’Av. We saw that the Tosafot say that the seven, passages are arranged in an ascending order. That is to say that the prophecies of consolation make ever more glorious promises regarding the future.
Today we see the seven prophecies and how their arrangement leads us to a most wonderful vision of the future.
