Mrs. Shira Smiles |
| Why does the Torah refer to the location of the Akeida as 'the place'? A seemingly simple question reveals deep insights into the nature of G-d-given tests, the single-minded focus of Avraham to connect to G-d, and the miracles that G-d performed as a precursor to the Akeida. |

Mrs. Shira Smiles |
| In this class, Mrs. Shira Smiles continues her exploration of the Akeidat Yitzchak. We learn of the great speed and desire with which Avraham Avinu performs the Akeida. Through a variety of sources, we come to understand significance and symbolism of our forefather’s use of the donkey.
In addition to the unique zrizut of Avraham Avinu, we find Avraham concerned with ‘hiddur Mitzva’, the desire to further beautify his deed.
Avraham Avinu has a spiritual awakening as he finds the place of the Akeidah, and concretizes this inspiration by immediately harnessing these feelings and performing an action, beginning to chop the wood for the sacrifice.

| Mrs. Shira Smiles continues her discussion on the Akeidat Yitzchak, focusing on the end of the first Passuk of the Akieda, and beginning the Second Passuk. We noted the meaning of the word 'Et', and saw who it may come to include. We looked at the manner of Hashem’s call to Avraham Avinu, and observed the response Avraham's striking response of Hineni. We noted the fact that Sarah Imenu doesn’t participate in this nisayon, and explained the reason for this. We examined the word "Na" and saw the different meanings of the word, and its implications. Through Rashi we saw the importance of the Akieda compared to the other Nisyonot. |
