Description:
If we weren't so familiar with the story it would rattle us to the core: A man rises in the morning to hear the Almighty himself call to him and demand the unthinkable: the sacrifice of a son upon an altar. In the end, God proclaims it "a test", and father and son descend from the mountain --both alive, yet both changed forever.
In this series of live recordings, Rabbi Fohrman examines the "Akeidah" story in detail. Using close textual analysis and Mirdrashic commentary, he uncovers a startling, hidden side of the Akeidah. What stands revealed is a story of surpassing beauty and depth, with eternal relevance to our quest to forge a relationship with the Creator.
