Summary
🔥 Join the Land of Israel Fellowship and study Tanach live from the hills of Judea: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ In 1 Samuel 9, Saul's journey to becoming Israel’s first king begins with what seems like a simple search for lost donkeys. But beneath the ordinary events lies a deeper question: are life's "coincidences" actually guiding us toward our destiny? Join Jeremy Gimpel and Ari Abramowitz as they uncover the hidden hand of Hashem in one of Tanach’s most pivotal chapters. Through missed turns, chance encounters, and unexpected guidance, Saul's path reveals how greatness often arrives disguised as an ordinary day. Can a person be chosen before they recognize their calling? Why do some journeys begin in confusion? And what if the moments that seem random are leading exactly where you're meant to go? 📖 “And to whom belongs all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not to you?” (1 Samuel 9:20)
