“ ‘nothing Samson has done up to this point in the narrative has been of any benefit to the people of Israel. He has pursued nothing but personal vengeance as retaliation for being disrespected, and although he has created a good bit of mayhem, he has not yet begun the work of delivering the people of Israel from the Philistines.’ In other words, Samson’s feats of strength are a whirlwind that doesn’t improve the lives of the people he supposedly leads.”
Hmmmm. Why does this seem so familiar? I can’t seem to put my finger on it.

Samson doesn't seem to be a good person. Thanks Rabbi Rosenbaum and Shabbat Shalom! Happy Hanukkah 🕎!
