King David’s Secret

By Rabbi Mendy Gutnick

King David, the defendent, accused of murder and adultery, was represented by Rabbi Mendy Gutnick as the defense attorney, in a mock trial in Australia.

Rabbi Gutnick lays out the background of David’s origins and his Cinderella status in his family. How he grew from a sweet boy, shepherding the flocks and composing praises to G-d, into the only Jewish leader who was able to provide a time of peace amongst the Jews themselves, and their neighbors.
