    Haye Sarah: Ms. Yaffa Setton— Taking the Initiative in Relationships

    We are thrilled to have Ms. Yaffa Setton join us for this week's episode to discuss the process of how Eved Abraham finds Rivkah as a wife for Yishak. We delve into why Abraham sent his Eved to find a wife for Yishak immediately after Sarah passed away, what Eved Abraham was looking for in a wife for Yishak, and what we can take away from this process when approaching dating and relationships in our own lives.

    Vayera: Akedat Yishak— The Triumph or Defeat of Human Morality?

    In this week's episode, we discuss the story of Akedat Yishak. Specifically, how could Abraham, the paradigm of Hesed, be willing to commit child sacrifice, and how does this relate to what the test of the Akedah is? Must Abraham surrender his conception of morality in the face of Hashem's command, or does Abraham's ultimate refusal to sacrifice Yishak represent the assertion of what he believes is just?

    Lekh Lekha: Rabbi Ricky Hidary— What's Going on in Berit Ben HaBetarim?

    We are honored to have Rabbi Ricky Hidary join us as our first guest of the season to discuss Parashat Lekh Lekha! In this episode, we explore the deep symbolism behind Berit Ben HaBetarim. Then, we examine its connection to Berit Milah and explain how these two Beritot can help us understand the two stories of Abraham journeying to Eres Kenaan. Rabbi Hidary tops it all off with a powerful message about how the two Beritot can help us think about our Jewish identity.
