3.5⭐️? — It’s a bit dated now and the size of the book is awkward to handle, but there were some interesting insights in it. I liked how there were many suggestions for each mitzvot and some were listed in stages of increasing difficulty of observance, so someone could choose to start with a manageable change. The footnotes with book suggestions and Appendix with the Talmud page and other info were helpful too.

Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, known widely for making the Hebrew Bible relevant to our lives, draws on generations of Jewish sages, philosophers and scholars to explore this ancient story, known as the binding of Isaac or the test of Abraham. He invites us to use this powerful tale as a tool for our own soul wrestling, to transcend its words to show more confront our own existential sacrifices and our ability to face-and surmount- life's tests. By applying this tale's lessons to everyday events, Artson compels us to pay closer attention to our lives and, through our priorities, responsibilities, mindfulness and faith, ask ourselves if we are passing our own tests. show less
