    Episode 4: He Appeared (Vayera)
    Nov 13 2024

    Sarah and Jason discuss Vayera, the fourth portion of the Torah, which covers the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the birth of Isaac, the continuation of the story of Hagar and Ishmael, and G-d’s test of Abraham where he asks him to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Why is this portion filled with such dark stories? Why did G-d feel that He needed to test Abraham in such an extreme way? Did Abraham’s speech on justice change G-d’s mind about collective punishment?
