  • The Ashes Of Isaac at The Akeyda - VaYera

    The Ashes Of Isaac at The Akeyda - VaYera
    2024/11/12
    Thisweek we read the Akeydah. The Akeydah or binding of Isaac is something soimportant to us that we recall it in detail in our daily prayers. We alsorecall it specifically on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur to protect, defend andstand in merit for us. Thestory we think we know: Hashem tells Abraham to take Yishak as an offering.They go together to the mount. Abraham binds Isaac to the alter and at the lastminute is stopped by an angel. A ram is offered in Isaac’s stead. Hashem makesa promise to Abraham and they return home. That’sthe story my 4 year old granddaughter will tell in Parsha with Orly Adele iin amix of Hebrew and English this week. And the story we heard at four is the onewe continue to hear, But there is much more to the story Manyquestions are asked Forexample at the end of the Akeyda the passuk tells us וישבאברהם אל נעריו Allthe commentators ask. And where was Yishak? Thereare many Midrashim relating to the Akeyda Afamous one recalls Satan’s attempt to stop it. Realizingthe importance of the Akeydah to the future of Benai Yisrael and the merit andprotection it will provide, the midrashim expand on the attempt of the Satan toprevent Abraham and Isaac from going through with the sacrifice. Whatshould have been an 8 hour walk from Hebron to mount Moriah, became a three-daytrek through impossible conditions brought on by the Satan. He triespsychological arguments imploring Abraham that he could not have possibly heardwhat he thought he heard. Hecalls him a fool who dreamed up a god who would ask him to kill a son given tohim at 100 years of age. He uses an intellectual quarrel arguing that prophecyis imperfect and there is room for interpretation. He threatens him that hewill be liable for murder. Whenthat fails, he turns to Isaac and pleads with him to come to his sensesexplaining that his father is certainly senile if he thinks G-d would ask himto sacrifice his only son. He tells Isaac to think of his poor mother. Hereminds him that Yishmael will become the heir in his stead. Hethen turns to physical impediments including transforming himself into animpassable river. Its only when the two of them attempt to continue onregardless that the river gives up. But does the Satan give up? I would suggestthat he does not and fulfilling his role in challenging man uses even moredrastic attempts. Thereis the Disney G rated version of the Akeydah where only the ram gets killed(was Bambi G rated) and then there is an R rated version which we don’t usuallyhear about unless we get deep into the mefarshim. This R rated version hasSatan continue his pressure and would come with a warning note for violence. Ifirst discovered this alternate version about 35 years ago. The Eben Ezracomments on the verse: “And Abraham returned”: He questions that it does notmention Issac … Isaacis not mentioned because he was under Abraham’s care. Those who say thatAbraham slaughtered Isaac and left him on the altar and following this Isaaccame to life are contradicting Scripture. ttps://www.sefaria.org/Ibn_Ezra_on_Genesis.22.19.1 AndI said to myself what? What is he talking about? Someone says he didn’t stop?Someone says Abraham killed Isaac? I asked Rabbi Abittan for an explanation andbegan delving into the opinion carried not just by one, but we saw, by many andburied for various reasons which later became very obvious. Butit soon became apparent that this other opinion was not very well hidden. Itwas more about being ignored as it was simply impossible to comprehend and wepreferred to stick with the kindergarten version. Forexample, in the Meam Loez, a commentary on the Torah written specifically forthe religiously uneducated masses in 1730, Rav Yaakov Culi comments on thissame verse. “There is another opinion that Abraham did begin to slit Isaac’sthroat and actually perforated his windpipe. When Abraham looked up and saw theram, the angels swooped Isaac away, brought him to the Garden of Eden and lefthim there until he was completely healed.” Atthe time we discussed with the Rabbi that Isaac’s soul had a partial flaw inthat his mother laughed when she heard she would become pregnant. The mekubalimalso explain that his soul was completely bound to the side of gevurah or whatwe call the feminine side and in order to correct his soul so that he couldhave children, the soul needed to return to heaven and be repaired beforereturning again. The repair including a meeting up with his mother Sarah’s soulas she dies at the exact same moment. A piece of her soul went into Isaac andanother part went into Rebecca who was born at that same moment. Aboutfifteen years ago, I gave a version of a class on the subject on Shabbatmorning to a full house eating breakfast bringing the proofs simply from theTorah and Rashi and it seems each ...

  • The Humility of Abraham VaYera

    The Humility of Abraham VaYera
    2024/11/10
    We read this week the portion of VaYera. Like lech lecha it is packed with stories and action. Avraham experienced both humility and triumph this week. After receiving the extraordinary news of a child with Sarah, he faced disturbing news: Hashem planned to destroy Sodom. Despite its values opposing Avraham's teachings – kindness vs. selfishness, faith vs. heresy – Avraham didn't rejoice in Sodom's demise. Instead, he implored Hashem to spare them. “Will You stamp out the righteous together with the wicked? “Perhaps,” he cried “there are 50 righteous men in the city. Shall You not spare the city in the merit of the 50?” (cf. Genesis 18:23-24). But there were not 50, There were not 40. In fact, there were not even 10 and Avraham had no more bargaining chips. Hashem did not spare S’dom. Avraham lost his case. The Torah tells us וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ יְהֹוָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר כִּלָּ֔ה לְדַבֵּ֖ר אֶל־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וְאַבְרָהָ֖ם שָׁ֥ב לִמְקֹמֽוֹ׃ Having finished speaking to Abraham, יהוה departed; and Abraham returned to his place. What does the Torah mean, “Avraham returned to his place”? Where else should he go? To watch the fireworks that once was S’dom? Ohr Hachaim: G'd completed speaking with Abraham He left. The Torah reports that G'd did not even give Abraham a chance to plead further on behalf of a lesser number of righteous people. After all, Abraham said that he had used his final plea. Although the Zohar 1,82 suggests that the righteous is the foundation of the earth, i.e. that a single righteous person could save the rest of the world, this may apply only to an outstanding צדיק. The doc mentioned What if lot had gone left and sodom remained for Abraham? Interesting what the ohr hachaim closes with : Perhaps if Abraham had lived in Sodom, his presence could have sufficed to save the town. Rabbeinu_Bahya,_Bereshit_18.33.1 One may also understand the word למקומו as “to his customary preoccupation of entertaining visitors and guests.” Having fulfilled this מצוה in respect of the angels who had now departed he went back to his tent to look for other visitors to entertain. This was Avraham’s central virtue and whenever he was able to practice it he is described as “being in his element”, i.e. במקומו. Another way of explaining the word למקומו, is “to his regular emotional state.” As long as Avraham had been in a dialogue with G’d he was on a totally spiritual and intellectual level, not allowing for normal emotional responses which are part of the human condition. Now that the immediate benevolent presence of G’d had departed he resumed his customary frame of mind and his approach to matters of a more terrestrial nature. The word מקומו של אדם “a person’s place,” defines the parameter within which certain people operate, are at home, and where they know their place within the society they live in. I think that this speak tremendous praise for the humility of Abraham. Ani afar va’efer Maybe between him and Hashem But even in his relationship with people Could have been so haughty I’m the survivor of ur kasdim I’m the one Hashem speaks with but no This is not the only time that Avraham returns. At the end of the portion, we read of Avraham’s great faith and fortitude. He is told by Hashem to sacrifice his only son, Yitzchak up on a mountain the Akeida. Unquestioning and determined, Avraham embarks to fulfill Hashem’s wishes. After his success at the Akeyda . Hashem promises to increase Avraham’s offspring like the stars, and declares that all the nations of the world will bless themselves by Avraham’s offspring. After the remarkable incident the Torah tells us that “ וַיָּ֤שׇׁב אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶל־נְעָרָ֔יו וַיָּקֻ֛מוּ וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ יַחְדָּ֖ו אֶל־בְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב אַבְרָהָ֖ם בִּבְאֵ֥ר שָֽׁבַע׃ {פ} Abraham then returned to his servants, and they departed together for Beer-sheba; and Abraham stayed in Beer-sheba. https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.22.19 What does the Torah mean? Of course he returned. Should he stay on the mountain forever? Of course he returned! most of rabbis and commentators have something to say here We’ll look later in the week But let me share a story told by rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky Master at bring stories as parables Rabbi Dovid Koppleman tells the story of Rabbi Abish, the Rav of Frankfurt who was known for his extraordinary humility. In addition, he would often raise funds for the needy families of his city. Once he heard that a wealthy man was on business in town and went to the man’s hotel suite to ask him for a donation. The tycoon was arrogant and assumed that the Rav was a poor shnorrer, and after a few moments ...
