Part I in a series from 2021 on Jewish political thought - reshared in advance of the Israeli elections in October 2026.This shiur explores the complex and often skeptical view of the Torah regarding the institution of the monarchy in Israel. By analyzing the laws of the king in Sefer Devarim and the historical narrative of the first king, Shaul, in Sefer Shmuel, the lecture examines whether kingship is a divine commandment or a concession to human desire. The discussion highlights the tension between the need for unified leadership and the inherent danger of human power usurping the sovereignty of God.Source sheet available here
