Tisha B’av is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, commemorating the destruction of both Temples and the suffering of the Jewish people. Delving into a conversation between the philosopher Plate and the prophet Jeremiah, Shmuel explores the question of what the Temple means and why the Jewish people continue to mourn its loss.
How can the story of a meeting between Plato and Jeremiah be true when multiple sources I have researched advise that Plato lived 427 to 348 BC and Jeremiah lived from 650 to 570 BC?
Hi!
Can you tell me where Shmuel got the story of Plato and Jeremiah?
Many Thanks!
