Description

The biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham is familiar to many of us, regardless of our faith tradition. It has been the subject of countless commentaries, essays and sermons. This moving tale of God’s command to Abraham to take the life of his beloved son, and Abraham’s unwavering obedience, is rich with meaning. In this presentation by Maharat Rori Picker Neiss and Mark Etling we will examine distinctly Jewish and Christian interpretations of this timeless tale.
