Who is the Suffering Servant of HaShem? Isaiah 53:3
By Rabbi Moshe Perets
Yeshayahu (Isaiah) - Chapter 53 נִבְזֶה֙ וַֽחֲדַ֣ל אִישִׁ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ מַכְאֹב֖וֹת וִיד֣וּעַ חֹ֑לִי וּכְמַסְתֵּ֚ר פָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ נִבְזֶ֖ה וְלֹ֥א חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ:
"Despised and rejected by men, a man of pains and accustomed to illness, and as one who hides his face from us, despised and we held him of no account."
