Chaye Sarah - Where was Isaac at his mothers funeral - What really happened at the Akeydah

from Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi · host david bibi

The Akeyda- what really happened - the story they never wanted you to know. The R rated version!   I first discovered this alternate version about 30 years ago. The Eben Ezra comments on the verse: “And Abraham returned”: He questions that it does not mention Issac … and then he quotes a source … “And the one that says that he slaughtered him and left him, and he came back to life later”.   And I said to myself what? What is he talking about? Someone says he didn’t stop? Someone says Abraham killed Isaac? I asked Rabbi Abittan for an explanation and began delving into the opinion carried not just by one, but we saw, by many andburied for various reasons which later became very obvious.    But it soon became apparent that this other opinion was not very well hidden. It was more about being ignored as it was simply impossible to comprehend and we preferred to stick with the kindergarten version.  For example, in the Meam Loez, a commentary on the Torah written specifically for the religiously uneducated masses in 1730, Rav Yaakov Culi comments on this same verse. “There is another opinion that Abraham did begin to slit Isaac’s throat and actually perforated his windpipe. When Abraham looked up and saw theram, the angels swooped Isaac away, brought him to the Garden of Eden and left him there until he was completely healed.”   Sources  Initially with the rabbi as I mentioned based on Eben Ezra comment. Then Rabbi Aderet provided more details. ThenRabbi Wagensberg in yerushalayim put it all together. Andthe sources? Zohar, Rabbeynu bachya, Rashi, Yalkut Reuveni. Megaleh Amukot, Hagahot vehaarot on the tur and bet yosef, Shibolet haleket, Ben ish chai ...    Butreally the bottom line is a simple re-reading of Chumash with Rashi settingaside some of the preconceptions
