Summary
What really led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah—and was it just about sin, or something deeper about the kind of society they had become? In this episode, we explore one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible, unpacking the text, the rabbinic interpretations, and the many ways this story has been understood over time. From themes of justice, cruelty, and hospitality to the fate of Lot and his family, we'll look beyond the fire and brimstone to ask what this story is really trying to teach. Because this isn't just an ancient tale—it's a mirror held up to every society, including our own.
