TOLDOT - DEALING WITH SCOFFERS

How are we to contend with scoffers who mock and undermine something important? Rabbi Dunner delves into a Midrash that recalls those who dismissed the birth of Isaac as "fake news" -- he was merely a foundling who Abraham and Sarah claimed as their own. God responded by making Isaac identical in appearance to his father, and by demonstrating that Sarah was a nursing mother. What is the significance of this Midrash? Rabbi Dunner explains, and addresses countless other topics along the way. A fascinating shiur, recorded at St. John's Wood Synagogue, London, on November 4th, 2021.
