Covenant & Conversation | Vayera | Rabbi Sacks 

Shabbat Shalom! Thank you Rabbi, and blessed should be your memory, and the Torah that you have revealed to us, and may your loved ones, and all of Bnai Yisrael be blessed.

Always missed. As already said, his memory IS forever a blessing.

Baruch HaShem! Todah rabbah and shabbat shalom,

This is the definition of a memory being a blessing. Thank you, Rabbi Sacks.

רב יקר, אני רוצה להודות לך בלב שלם על תורתך. אני תמיד מנסה להקשיב וללמוד . אני לא יהודי , אבל איך אני מרגישה. אני אוהבת את התנ''ך העברי, התרבות שלך כה יקרה לטובת כל העולם

As always, revealing and eye opening. Thank you for bringing Torah to our homes. Sometimes, it's not possible to attend shiurim close to home and your pearls of wisdom make it attainable to delight in the vastness of Torah.

B''H, Amen. Shabbat Shalom.

Very profound and worthwhile! Especially for young or soon to be parents.

Astonishing depth! Thank you, Rabbi Sacks

Very profound. Only sensible explanation of this difficult passage that absolves G-d's character and honors Him as a loving Father. Beautiful

It was a test for Abraham, God had already provided the sacrifice caught in the thicket...

תודה רבה כמו תמיד אתה מקורי ברעיון אולי כדאי שכב' יתן תקציר גם בעברית כי רמת האנגלית יותר מדי גבוהה תודה!

The loss of Jonathan Sacks was a great loss to British intellectual life. Shalom.

Uw kinderen zijn uw kinderen niet.

Yahweh never outlawed child sacrifice - he outlawed child sacrifice to OTHER gods. He's a jealous god, by his own admission - he just doesn't want any other demons worshipped in his place, because he is the chief demon, the most powerful angel who fell from heaven to become the chief opponent of mankind; Satan.

And this is where the christians developed the idea when creating their religion, that their god sacrificed their son. They took this very parsha and twisted and turned it into their twisted beliefs and then perpretrated that upon the world.
