Description

Avraham Avinu is defined as Avraham HaIvri, Avraham who is willing to stand on the opposite side of the world from everyone else in the name of truth. Looking back to the story of the Tower of Bavel and his clash with Nimrod, we examine how Avraham became Avraham Avinu. In this context, we discuss the critical importance defining one's own individual sense of self and then working to align that individual self with the ultimate truth of God.
