Episode Synopsis

The Akeida (binding of Isaac) is perhaps the most controversial event depicted in the Torah: how could G-d ask Abraham & Sarah to give up their only son!?The Rabbis, instead of turning away from the controversy, decided to lean in and figure out how we can relate ourselves to this tale, despite (or in debt to) our discomfort.We will explore a range of interpretations from the sources, but most importantly, we will craft new meanings for how and what the Torah means to us.
