-捆綁以撒的聯想
犧牲、正義、人性

以撒的故事出現在律法書每日閱讀部分的“Vayera”。這是我們先祖亞伯拉罕靈性生涯的巔峰。這個故事講述了什麼?主題就是“神試驗亞伯拉罕”。但問題隨之而來:神為什麼要試驗亞伯拉罕,而不是試驗以撒?畢竟,在祭壇上被獻為祭的是以撒,而不是亞伯拉罕。拉比猶大.羅恩.阿什肯納茲(Judah Loen Ashkenazi )解釋說:阿基达(Akeidah)的解讀是合理的,因為亞伯拉罕概括體現了仁慈和愛的屬性。 

慈愛(Chesed)反對捆綁以撒,因為慈愛(Chesed)認為,至神者 神,感謝讚美歸於我們的神,神賜給生命,為什麼又要收回生命呢?但另一方面,以撒有著嚴厲(Gevurah )的屬性,阿基达(Akeidah)認為,這並不是一個新概念。根據嚴厲的屬性(Gevurah or strict justice):人必須為自己所得到的付出代價。以撒免費獲得生命的代價就是:將生命還給他的創造者。因此對以撒而言,捆綁以撒並非是新概念(Akeidah)。相反,對亞伯拉罕而言,這是個新概念。 

我們從這一深刻的概念中獲得怎麼的結論?最後,以撒必須活著,犧牲自己的意願不需要在實際執行。恰恰相反,當我們具有犧牲自己生命意願的那一刻起,我們的生命將變得意義重大。 

因此,至聖者 神,感謝讚美歸於我們的神!神吩咐亞伯拉罕不可向童子下手。並強調了所有犧牲的核心。哈拉哈(Chalacha )指出:當我們願意奉獻自己的時候,並非需要我們犧牲自己的生命,而可以用動物替代我們。正如亞伯拉罕所做的:獻上公羊,而不是以撒。 

誰從這一偉大的奉獻中獲益?實際上,受益的是全人類。亞伯拉罕對陪同他和以撒的非希伯來人,非猶太人說:“我和童子去那邊敬拜,之後就會到你們這裡來”(創世記22:5)。回到你們這裡,將帶回來豐富的道德和精神啟蒙。阿基达(Akeidah ),這就是捆綁以撒帶給全世界的意義。
