Description

Why does the Torah only call the Akeidah a test when we know Avraham went through nine others? Why does it say that it was a test for Avraham alone when Yitzchak was the one expected to give his life? Through examining this powerful story we come to a deeper understanding of Avraham and what makes him so unique as well as how to learn from him the ways to succeed in the most challenging tests in our lives. (Bereishit, Vayeira: Parshat Ha'Akeida, pp. 109-111)
