Description

Rabbi Haber discusses the difference between the "Kiddush Hashem" that Avraham Avinu did when he walked into the oven of Nimrod and was saved from the fire by Hashem and the "Korban LaSHem" that was performed by Yitzchak Avinu when he presented himself on the mizbe'ach. He was the ultimate Sacrifice. He describes the vision of Yitzchak, who saw the Shechinah while looking up on the mizbe'ach and how it was on a higher level than Avraham's Kiddush Hashem. Avraham Avinu "Knew" Hashem. But Yitzchak Avinu "Saw" the Shechina.
