THE BINDING OF ISAAC AND THE TEST OF ABRAHAM
This Biblical story recounts the primal scene of the near-sacrifice of Isaac. How did Abraham do? Did he pass the test? What role did Isaac play? What is the significance of this story historically and through the generations? How does it continue to play out in the Jewish psyche?
Rabbi Peter Schweitzer will explore how these questions have been addressed from the Bible account itself to rabbinic and modern commentary including Woody Allen and Rabbi Schweitzer’s own retelling of the story.
