Binding of Isaac
Unlocking a Profound Lesson in Sacrifice Justice and Humanity

"The Binding of Isaac poses a perplexing question: Why did God test Abraham, not Isaac, who was to be sacrificed? This trial, explains Rabbi Judah Loen Ashkenazi, delves into the clash of attributes: Abraham's loving-kindness (Chesed) versus the strict justice (Gevurah) Isaac represented. The profound lesson? While Isaac's life needed saving, the willingness to sacrifice transformed life's significance. Humanity's gift lies in the balance between giving and preserving life, akin to the ram replacing Isaac on the altar."
