What is Ishmael doing here? Did we not read that he was sent away into the desert when Isaac was young? Have the two stepbrothers not lived in total isolation from one another? Yet the Torah places them together at the funeral with not a word of explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an extraordinary midrash (Pirkei deRabbi Eliezer, 30) which tells the story of how Ishmael was twice visited by Abraham. On both occasions, Ishmael was not at home. On the first, his wife, not knowing Abraham\u2019s identity, refused the stranger bread and water. Ishmael divorced her and married a woman named Fatimah. This time, when Abraham visited, again not disclosing his identity, the woman gave him food and drink. The midrash then says \u201cAbraham stood and prayed before the Holy One, blessed be He, and Ishmael\u2019s house became filled with all good things. When Ishmael returned, his wife told him about it, and Ishmael knew that his father still loved him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a story here of immense consequence for our time. Jews and Muslims both trace their descent from Abraham \u2013 Jews though Isaac, Muslims through Ishmael. Fatimah is an important figure in Islam. She is the daughter of the prophet. Between Judaism and Islam there can be friendship and mutual respect. Abraham loved both his sons, and was laid to rest by both. There is hope for the future in this story of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":102816,"id":102816,"title":"-62291291bcb40--62291291bcb41gen25-judaism-islam.jpg","filename":"62291291bcb40-62291291bcb41gen25-judaism-islam.jpg.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/08\/62291291bcb40-62291291bcb41gen25-judaism-islam.jpg.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/abraham-loved-both-his-sons-and-was-laid-to-rest-by-both\/62291291bcb40-62291291bcb41gen25-judaism-islam-jpg\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"62291291bcb40-62291291bcb41gen25-judaism-islam-jpg","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":37887,"date":"2022-03-09
