Item Description:

The later Judges in Israel were a varied group, but each was uniquely suited to lead his generation. Rabbi Wein retells the pivotal events under the rules of Gideon, Jephtah, and Samson. Each was a fearsome warrior, and in the cases of Jephtah and Samson, their lives were wrought with controversy.

• Gideon - from simple farmer to fearless leader
• Shechem - a perennial place of conflict
• Yair of Gilad - all-too-familiar corruption
• the multi-faceted tragedy of Jephtah's daughter
• "perfect" vs. imperfect leaders
