Цикл уроков рава Гедалии Шестака по пятой из книг так называемых "малых пророков", "Трей асар" (в переводе с арамейского - "двенадцать"), - по книге "Йона". Пророк Йона — один из самых известных и в то же время один из самых загадочных персонажей ТаНаХа. Книга Йоны - это не просто история о том, как человек выжил, проведя трое суток в чреве большой рыбы. Это книга о глубокой вере, о силе раскаяния (тшувы), о грешниках и праведниках, о миссии пророка. А Виленский Гаон придавал книге Йоны еще более высокое значение, он учит нас, что вся она - о душе человека и его реинкарнации.
