Description
Sarah was Abraham's life partner. She was his superior as a prophetess. She accompanied him in all his journeys. In the aftermath of the Binding of Isaac, she died. How did the Binding contribute to her demise? What exactly was Saran's role in orchestrating her sudden death?

We also study Eliezer's flawed prayer and his urgency in fulfilling his mission. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – This Parsha Podcast is dedicated in loving memory and leilui nishmas our dear friend David Gedaliah ben Efraim, the unforgettable Dr. David Genecov obm, whose yahrzeit is this week.
