Description

As we move from Parshat Lech Lecha into Parshat Vayeira, we shift from Avraham to Yitzchak and therefore from the unfolding of the middah of chessed to the unfolding of the middah of gevurah. What is the nature of the middah of gevurah? How it is manifest in the life of Yitzchak? We refine the definition of gevurah, connect it to the concept yirat shamayim, and examine its relationship to mesirut nefesh in the context of Akeidat Yitzchak.
