The Akeida (binding of Isaac) is perhaps the most controversial event depicted in the Torah: how could G-d ask Abraham & Sarah to give up their only son!?

We will explore a range of interpretations from the sources, but most importantly, we will craft new meanings for how and what the Torah means to us.
