  1. A Terrible Father, But a Good Jew<\/a>\u00a0by Shira Hecht-Koller. “Did Abraham do good in preparing to slaughter his son? Did he do right? Some ancient Jewish texts are not sure…” Modern ones too: from El’azar be-Rabbi Qillir to Nicole Krauss, Hecht-Koller asks, and answers these troubling questions.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. Did They Walk Together?<\/a>\u00a0by Deena Cowans. “With this one extra word (yachdav<\/em>, “together”) the Torah teaches us to pay attention to the burdens others carry… Abraham may have willingly obeyed God\u2019s command, but he went to fulfill it just like his son, slowly making his way up the mountain, painfully aware of the weight on his shoulders.”<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0The Akeidah is Not Our Story<\/a> by Jeremy Benstein. “We do not define ourselves primarily as Bnei Abraham. We are Bnei Yisrael, the children, the spiritual descendants, of Jacob who became Israel: ‘for you have striven with beings divine and human, and have prevailed…’ Our central characteristic is not submission or surrender, but struggle, wrestling with God and with people to fulfill our destiny.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
