On Rosh HaShanah Day 1 5786, as our congregation began celebrating its Jubilee Year and I entered my 25th year as a rabbi, I shared personal stories reflecting on lessons I’ve learned that have shaped me and allowed me to reach this milestone.
In this story, I explore how the Binding of Isaac (Akedah) — one of the most difficult and powerful Torah readings — has shaped his understanding of parenting, faith, and letting go.
This is not just Abraham’s test — it’s one every parent faces.
