Description

In this conversation with Rabbanit Debbie Zimmerman, she paints a sensitive and nuanced portrait of our most understated patriarch, Yitzchak.  While some describe Yitzchak as passive and a dutiful follower of Avraham’s theological revolution, in this episode we meet an attentive and serene depiction of Yitzchak’s life stories.

Our Breishit series titled, ‘These are Our Heroes’ explores the highs and lows of our greatest biblical figures.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Sarina Goldstand and family in memory of their father Yosef Ben Chaim z”l for his yartzheit on the 9th of Cheshvan.
