Head down Abraham slowly approaches the tent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham: Hagar can I come in?<\/span><\/p>\n

Hagar: yes you may. Asking, that is ironic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham: Hagar, I am so so sorry, I never…<\/span><\/p>\n

Hagar, Interrupting: Don\u2019t call me that. My name is Asheyet, that is the name my parents gave me, a princess of Egypt. I responded to Hagar, because I had to act like a ger<\/em>, like a stranger to myself to continue with all the oppression I went through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham: I am sorry Asheyet, I just didn\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t understand until I watched tonight. Until I saw June\u2019s pain. It was a different time, there were different rules and regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hagar: But you were so kind to strangers who showed up at your door. So merciful to the wicked of Sodom, so ahead of your time, where was your intuition, your prescience with me?<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham: You are right. All too often we are compassionate to those at a distance, and so cruel to those closest. We just wanted a son. We left our homeland, followed God\u2019s promises. But nothing happened. Sarah just thought that when you came into our lives it was God\u2019s way of finally granting us a son. And then it worked, we named the son \u201cYishmael,\u201d believing that it had worked that God had granted us the child. I am so so sorry, that you were just a tool for us to realize our dreams, and sorrier that more than 3,000 years have passed before I realized our error: when women don\u2019t control their bodies, then they are not equal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hagar: I suffered and endured, but I listened to God. The child was named \u201cYishmael,\u201d but not due to your cries, or Sarah\u2019s tears but because God heard <\/span>my suffering<\/b>. I listened to the angel and went back and absorbed the suffering. Was it worth it, that is not for today, and anyway I see Sally Hemmings is at my door.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":36811,"id":36811,"title":"shutterstock_1088812118","filename":"shutterstock_1088812118.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/the-original-handmaids-tale-take-ii\/shutterstock_1088812118\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"shutterstock_1088812118","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":36708,"date":"2018-08-04 20:58:15","modified":"2022-02-26 22:19:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":4809,"height":6692,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-216x300.jpg","medium-width":216,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-736x1024.jpg","medium_large-width":736,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-736x1024.jpg","large-width":736,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118.jpg","1536x1536-width":1104,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118.jpg","2048x2048-width":1472,"2048x2048-height":2048,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-862x1200.jpg","post_full_size-width":862,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_1088812118-302x420.jpg","home_baner-width":302,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"The Original Handmaid's Tale: Take II -
