He provides us withinsight into the workings of Yonah's mind and thus vindicates hisactions, which may otherwise be misunderstood. In this work, theAlshich delves into many questions, such as:• What was the real objective of Yonah's mission to Nineveh?• How could a prophet dare flee from Hashem's presence?• How can we explain Yonah's miraculous salvation in light of thesevere punishment he received immediately beforehand?• Why was Yonah required to be swallowed by two fish and notone?• Why did Nineveh merit to be saved?• What is the message of the Kikayon plant?Also included is a fascinating commentary based on an allegoricalinterpretation of the first chapter of Yonah, as well as an appendixcovering the Alshich's analysis of selected ideas and themes pertainingto Yom Kippur and teshuvah."Having reviewed portions of the manuscript, I can see the effort andattention to detail that has gone into accurately translating and elucidat-ing the holy Alshich's words. I therefore wholeheartedly recommend thissefer as a means of increasing the reader's knowledge and understandingof these fascinating chapters of Tanach."Dayan Menachem GelleyRosh London Beis Din / Rav of Beis Hamedrash Ohr Chodosh table{border-collapse:collapse}td{background-color:#efefef;font-weight:bold;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px}th{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px} Sku: F-8242 Author: Rabbi Mordechai Rose and Rabbi Nahum Spirn Isbn 13: 9781680255744 Isbn 10: 1680255746 Pages: 158 Size: 6.3" x 9.3" Binding: Hardcover Date: 9/23/2022 Imprint: Feldheim Publishers
