From Yoshiyahu to the destruction: How Overconfidence Became the Turning Point
Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz
A sweeping, story-driven timeline tracing the final decades before the First Temple’s destruction — from Yoshiyahu HaMelech’s fatal miscalculation at Megiddo to the rapid rise of Babylon, the revolving door of Judean kings, and the first wave of exile. Along the way, we uncover what shaped Jewish survival — and why even a single eulogy and a few extra years mattered in Heaven’s plan.
