Description

Morning Midrash #1. First in a series exploring Biblical heroes through the lens of the Midrash. This class explores two topics. 1. What are the different ages at which the Midrash suggests Avraham discovered God? 2. Was Avraham really saved from a Kivshan Ha'Esh (fiery furnace)? Includes some general comments about how we are to relate to Midrash.
