We will analyze the story of Shimshon and Delilah. We ask – who was Delilah? Was she a Philistine or a Jew? We will provide several proofs, from maps of the land and from the description of the Bible itself – that she was actually Jewish! What does this teach us about the situation in Judah?
We will move on to Shimshon ‘s death – and delve into the famous expression: “Let me die with the Philistines.”
We will see the meaning of this expression – according to the Sages and in modern Hebrew.
