Implications of the Akeida - Part 4: Prophetic and Religious Challenges of the Akeida
In this fourth instalment of the Akeida series, we discuss the nature of prophecy, the limits of Ahavat Hashem (the commandment to love God), and the goals of the Torah. We examine the Rambam’s point of view as we wonder about the challenge inherent in the Akeida. Is this episode a challenge for Avraham, for God (as it were), or for the rest of the world?
