Abraham & Isaac: The Whole Story Doesn't Make Sense - until now 

The story does make more sense now. Wonderful rabbi. Many thanks.

This gives a new meaning to “laugh for life”

Shalom Rabbi, I thank our Holy Creator because you're changing my life and you're helping people get closer to our Holy Father, like I said before you're like a father to me. I love you so much rabbi from the bottom of my heart, someday I want to be a man like you. I want to help the world. Please rabbi pray for me , my name is Edward Martinez Ben Adam. Blessings for you and your family Rabbi.

I just realized that rabbi Friedman is Benny Friedman’s father that’s awesome I can’t believe I i didn’t realize

This is deep thank you Rabbi 🙏

I’m so glad I found you. I love listening to you. Paige

1000th like !! 👍🏽 Jamaican seeking the Word… love hearing your insights Rabbi

Thank you rabbi.

Thanks Rabbi.

This is beautiful. The gifts of God are without repentance. It’s still hurtful.

Thank you Rabbi!!!

Am inviting you to teach in our synagogue in Port Harcourt Rivers state Nigeria. I believe one day we may connect, you have much wisdom in the Torah. Shalom moreh

Loved it Rabbi Friedman makes a lot sense thank you and Shalom !

thank you

I'm amazed learning so much from Rabbi Manis. Hope he is not devil in disguise. Wishing him a long live.

Serve Hashem with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

I will declare the chok (decree): Hashem hath said unto me, Thou art Beni (My Son); HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.

Thank you.

This is sudden knowledge, I had no idea Sarah was in fact an angel. Such great wisdom.

Thank you

B"H This is so amazing, so deep and inspiring. Thank you Rabbi for lighting the world with the Torah.!

BH, thank you so much, Rabbi Friedman, for this inspiring lesson. I especially liked the part of 'women are the heroes' because it gives me more information when I'm asked how I could be Orthodox when women are so 'oppressed' and treated like we're second class and that Judaism is patriarchal or Male-dominated 😲. I always laugh when I hear those comments 😂!

I thought Sarah laughed because she didn’t believe having a child at her age was possible. Hence why prior, Hagar, her Egyptian maid, was given to Abraham to try and force the blessing on a son. The consequences of which are still seen/felt today with the troubles in Israel.

God is good!! Thank you for that revelation of the story of Abraham and Sarah.

THANK YOU RABBI FRIEDMAN

Thank you Rabbi Friedman. Unfortunately I'm in another continent so can't attend your evenings.

A shining revelation to me!

Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son, []), lest he be angry, and ye perish from the Derech, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Ashrei are all they that take refuge in him [].

Where did you find this information?

That is so interesting!

I thought we were not suppose to see or hear god that we couldn’t handle his awesomeness

Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His hot displeasure.

Let us break their chains asunder, and cast away their fetters from us.

So that’s why the word Brajah/Brajot (Blessings) could also means cursed, depending on the thoughts of the person’s perspective? Just asking

Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

QUESTION IN GREAT RESPECT! Sarah was a prophet. Why was Hagar brought into the the picture. The Bible says Sarah had Abraham Send them away. Why the jealousy. Half brothers Ishmael, Isaac. Very interesting. Just don't UNDERSTAND?

It's true now days there are people saying about madness.. confusing people and started questioning and it become a stupid topic... And the person who confuse people become popular..

Where is he getting this? My Bible says, "he called the place, the lord will provide."

Ahayah Ahdunaizedek Yahuuahshayahuuahlah Ben Yahuuah, "And so that what we have said is even more clear, If another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.” And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, Yet he became a priest with an oath when Yahuuah said to him: "Yahuuah has sworn and will not change Yahuuah's mind: 'You are a priest forever.'" "For he testified about him, Ahdunizedek, “You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melchizedek.”

I have set Malki (My King) upon Tziyon, My Har Kodesh.

The story will never make sense until you see the ram was the substitute for Isaac. 2000 years later, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world was sacrificed on that same mountain as our substitute.

God inform her willing

Oh my, Rabbi Friedman! Thank you so much. Beautiful story.

Rabbi plz explain the story of Balaam too... It's confusing... Plz plz plz

these days we don't hear nor see😣

Τρεπωμαι για το λογαριασμό σας

„Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my Lord being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.“ ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18:11-15‬ ‭

❤

Wow! It seems like the scriptures in the Torah is different from our Old Testament. OMG which means we have been getting the wrong teachings for centuries.

Just as how jews laughed when they heard about the virgin marry, even though they were told years before it would happen in every story of the bible. is anything impossible for God

Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim; be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.

Evan Abraham laughed Gen 17:17 KJV Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? Can you explain about this dear sir

What is parsha?

by thought 💭

What‘s about Ishmael. I ask myself, did he hear Sara laughin? And if he did, what impact has is on the whole story and the death of Sara?

It kinda makes sense when you juxtapose this with Sarah's inability to conceive, there was a story of untimely death or a curse which might have been following Sarah.

So the real question is!!! Why did the blessing not come face to face in the first place

Can you see without your eyes.

God knows by though

Isaias 25:8

if Sarah was his half sister, since it says in genesis 20 10-14 about her being from a different mother, then also Sarah would be the half-aunt of Ishmael. There are relationships here we don't notice...

metaphors to power the Kabbalah....

Thank you rabbi i now better,understand this story.

So the angel has authority over G-d? 😮

How old was Isaac?

Who's the other person?

Read Genesis (Barashit). 21-22 and compare what is said here.

The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion, and the rulers take counsel together against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,

I find this disturbing. My daughter of blessed memory was 4 when Hashem took her. I didn't have her long. Was she not a blessing?

not right but have to do love 💖 u

I think well with Rabbis discussion on these various classic stories what I am seeing is an investigative archaeological observation of the Tora as in this age we observe very good details historical moral blessings and a dividing the candy bar of truth it's not all sugar and it's part chocolate but it's good as Rabbi reviews the Now that ain't true but what is fact... Rabbi also cuts out lots of drama and small stuff..... this is real human thinking' 4 797 years later.... more or less...

I leashed her

Anyone ever try to think about what it would be like for a consciousness to integrate with a planetary systems compositional dynamics? The progressions of insight coagulated & consequent responsibility for inherent operations... What levels of differentiations of actuality reflect upon the rightfully arrogant most blessed aspect. How cruel a fate of engagements it is when perverse is characterized as the epitomy of Divinities existent you putrid wonder. And this while knowing the harmonized heights of bliss so effortlessly maintained by diligence of focus by so few. What endless obsessions with distraction crown the accomplishments of intentional catastrophic malice has perpetuated globally as oblivions mocking revelries.

Is this how the Torah written? Sarah laughed because she thought Isaac is not going to live long? . וַתִּצְחַ֥ק שָׂרָ֖ה בְּקִרְבָּ֣הּ לֵאמֹ֑ר אַחֲרֵ֤י בְלֹתִי֙ הָֽיְתָה־לִּ֣י עֶדְנָ֔ה וַֽאדֹנִ֖י זָקֵֽן׃ - בראשית 18:12C

🤔🤔

It‘s a bit overinterpreted.

however, the angel didn't come to tell the Egyptian woman named Hagar that she will have a son, the question is how come Ismael become an Arab instead of an Egyptian boy as I understand Hagar was Egyptian not an Arab woman .....in Judaism as we speak about Ismael we talk about Arabs WHY IS SO?.... THE DESCENDANTS OF ISMAEL ARE IN EGYPT NOT IN ARABIA, YEHOVAH BLESSES THE EGYPTIANS NOT THE ARABS

Different explanation: The angel came to sara and Abraham and told them they will have their son. What he did not know was that god had different plans. When the time of the sacrifice came, the angel realised that he fucked up. To keep his promise, he went behind gods back and stopped the whole thing. To me the angel is the only good guy, keeping his promise and protecting the poor boy from his psychotic father and the interdimensional monster.

Wow! Sarah saved Isaac? A 50-60+ years old lady giving birth is a extremely miracle and She saved her son?

Only in Judaism an people laugh at god, question god, bargain with god, run from god.. makes a big difference.

În that is about a sacrifice.

Because you think it's impossible. Like when I had a dream I had a pale white kid with blond hair and blue eyes riding a bike. I woke up laughing saying yeah right like I'm going to have a blond hair blue eyed kid when I'm looking puerto rician completely opposite. But I did and her hair turned white at 4. it from black to blond in two weeks and at six months it turned redish blond

Θέλω να σάς πω ότι ο θεός σάς έχει βοηθήσει αλλά εσείς τό μόνο πού κάνετε είναι να κατηγορείτε και ψάχνετε ένα κορόιδο πού θα ρίχνετε την ευθύνη για ότι καταστρέφεται τα πάντα ακόμα και την φύση.Το να κατηγορείτε ανθρώπους χωρίς λόγο είναι μεγάλη αμαρτία....!!!

Exactly why people have such a hard time digesting really digesting religion because in all of your religiousness you forgetting that people are human. Why did Sarah laugh because she was a human she was living that day living her life with angels flying around in the sky and only a few hundred years from the beginning of time and knowing that they're actually is a God and something was said to her that was about her that was funny she's almost a hundred years old you're going to have a baby how about she was laughing at the thought of Abraham being able to get it up and make the baby so that's why she said she didn't laugh she didn't want to be disrespectful to her husband move on to something else.

I don't know about this story and Sarah's laughter. If she believed why did she make a plan for her handmaiden? Most times angels come as one to give a message. I found it quite interesting that this particular time was 3. Representing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

And this is how people tell each other fancy stories, to deviate from the path of God.

G​​⁠et Jordan Peterson's interpretation is more accurate with the story even though he is not a Rabbi ... I love Rabbi and really wanted to learn from him but he does some kind of his own philosophy + sometimes not accurate enough narrative like this time ... we know Sarah wasn't a prophet or why would she laugh at God's blessing if she was a prophet more like a disbeliever ... The story is going towards a greater narrative since long Abraham was promised great blessings whereas Rabbi made it about Mother ... so Issac would be sacrificed if Sarah didn't intervine? The tone was infering hard on this one ... My personal take is yes God did want to test the belief of Abraham so he was to sacrifice his only son which meant everything to him ... He obliged as he was a pagan before following the calling of Yhwh worshipped Moon and all ... For him sacrificing his own child was heart wrenching enough but the pagans did sacrifice a lot and maybe even their child sometimes ... Yhwh distinctively seperated himself from all the gods Abraham made sculpture of from his family heritage ... Well we know Yhwh hates child sacrifice enough to kill the whole generation for it ... The text clearly shows Sarah laughed like a sniker and the angels were offended for her disbelief not her arguing ... The story with Elijah makes more sense

everything is temporary, doesnt mean everything is a lie.

It was god not angel

halul . Call In Sufi Way from in he is in

Lots of reading into the text here, this is not what the text plainly says!!!!!

Elohim used Abraham and Sarah as an example and a hidden secret for the children of Promise, God the Father and God the Mother, Gen.1:26-27, Galatians 4:26 Sarah represents Heavenly Jerusalem who is free and is our Mother, Revelation 22:17 the Spirit and the Bride say Come! God bless you

I just realized that this guy is a total fruad. Sarah laughed because she was old and barren. God saved Issac because that was His plan all along. Sarah was not a prophet, she was the wife of Abraham, and a faithful wife of a man of God is saved through Him.

Where did you get this? Sounds like you just made this up.

You Tell this Story from Ur own Book or something? This is not written.

None of the allegories in the bible makes sense.

God is giving a gift to Sarah and she is bargaining with God for Yitzak's life? Do you really believe that? This is another proof that your book is changed by human being. That is why another prophets needed to correct the message. Christians was not successfull also after yours. The last one was Muhammed. Now human being trying to do the same mistake again. You are a Rabbi. Why do not you try to search the truth? Just read the Quran. Decide afterwards. Do not think that most of the muslims are reflecting the islam. I can say that there are very few Quran Muslims in the world. I hope that you can be the one of them...

who put egg in sara ovary?altough she was too old as thora said
