Who Was King Hezekiah (Part 1 of 7)

The Mysterious Connection Between Mashiach And Tisha B’Av

Can one moment change all of history? Who was King Hezekiah? In this series, Rabbi Fohrman looks at the story of Hezekiah, zeroing in on one fateful moment at the end of his reign, a tipping point that could have sent history in a very different direction. A moment that could have ushered in the Messianic era.

Understanding this important lesson from Hezekiah sheds light on something even more profound about the destruction of Jerusalem and the destiny the Jewish people are still meant to achieve.
