Rabbi Akiva Cried – Mattos (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

Rabbi David Kaplan – Shares about the story of Rabbi Akiva crying when reading parts of this weeks’ upcoming (double) parashot. Rabbi Akiva cried because he foresaw his upcoming suffering when he was killed as one of the ten martyrs in the story about a woman breaking her vow that was annulled by her husband signalling inadvertent sins still require teshuva. This implied the rebuke from the Roman Ceasar who said that the ten matyrs required to be punished for the ten brothers (sons of Yaakov Avinu) selling Yosef into Egyptian slavery which although it turned out good the intention was not good.
