The Restoration
of the
Two Houses of Israel



The Torah's Introduction of the Two Houses of Israel - This article uses thematic analysis to uncover the Torah's foundational teaching concerning the Two Houses of Israel. Believe it or not, the book of Genesis emphatically teaches that Am Yisrael would split into two separate houses/kingdoms. Furthermore, the book of Genesis teaches that those two houses/kingdoms would be reconciled. This midrash will clearly demonstrate how the Holy One tells us the end from the beginning!!!
