Description

High-profile normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan. Serious reports about dramatic developments in relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia and Oman. What is going on in the Middle East?! After years of underground contacts, relationships are emerging in full view of the entire world between the descendants of Yitzchak and descendants of Yishmael – all of us the grandchildren of Avraham, Av Hamon Goyim, the “father of many nations. This breathtaking confluence of events certainly has far-reaching political ramifications, but I would like to highlight what I see as a much more significant aspect of it: the glimpse that this week’s parsha, Vayera, provides into this potential rapprochement.
