Parshat Vayyehtze

Jacob, fleeing from his brother
Journeys towards Haran.

Gets a vision; of ladders and angels
and knows of a holy place.

Then he searches and finds his brides
Rachel, his beloved, and her older sister Leah.

Many years later his mispacha *
heads home, after a spot of angst.


* Mishpacha = family

Death of Sarah

Abie Dear, where are you going with Isaac?
Oh, to worship G-d, my Sarah.

Then Sarah heard half of the news
How Isaaac was to be sacrificed

And legend says, right there
She slipped away.

And Abraham bought our first
land in Caanan.

Parshat Vayera

Parshat Vayera
the akidah ,sodom  and gomorah, the 90yr  old new mother. ..
what to cover  ..

in their old age, Avraham and Sarah got visitors three.
angels. One to tell of their forthcoming son.
and two for Sodom, one to save Lot and one to destroy the town


The son came, and he was called Yitzchak or laughter.  

Thirty seven years later he was bound like a sacrifice by his father and
then freed by the word of G-d. 
But father nor son never spoke a word after that ever again.
