    Ep. 7 - Shoftim Part 5 – The Dark Days of Micha and the Pilegesh

    In one of the darkest chapters of Sefer Shoftim, we encounter a time when there was no king in Israel—and no boundaries. Part 5 of Nach Stories brings two haunting episodes to life: Micha’s homemade religion, led by none other than the grandson of Moshe Rabbeinu, and the gruesome tale of the Pilegesh who was betrayed, leading to a civil war that nearly erased an entire tribe from Klal Yisrael. Through immersive narration and rich sound design, this episode explores what happens when a society has no leaders, no accountability, and no clarity between right and wrong. These stories are raw, real, and recorded in the pesukim with painful detail—for a reason.
