Sefer Ha-Bloggadah: week 5

One generation passes and another generation comes. The fortuitous timing of the Akeidah (Genesis 22) is good preparation for Rosh Hashanah discussions in our communities.

  • Monday - 1:3:44-45 (The Binding of Isaac)
  • Tuesday - 1:3:46-50 (The Binding of Isaac; After the Death of Abraham)
  • Wednesday - 1:3:51-60 (Isaac, Rebekah, and Their Progeny)
  • Thursday - 1:3:61-66 (Isaac's Blessing)
  • Friday - 1:3:67-69 (Our Father Jacob When He Left Beersheba)
  • Saturday/Sunday - 1:3:70-74 (Our Father Jacob When He Left Beersheba)

I'm a relative newcomer to reading this blog, and thought I'd mention some recent posts on my own blog that relate to the Akedah: "Tell God No" and Standing in Abraham's Shoes".

I wrote a drash on the Akedah six years ago. It continues to reside online at http://users.pupress.princeton.edu/~neil/rosh_hashana.html
