A panoramic view of Parshas Vayeira with a focus on the following questions:
1. Why are there 2 "Avraham Avinu" Parshiyos? Why don't we cut straight to the birth of Yitzchak? What does Vayeira add to Lech Lecha?
2. Is Vayeira a repeat of Lech Lecha? In both Parshiyos:
• Avraham Avinu is promised a son
• Lot is in danger
• Sarah Imeinu is kidnapped by a king
• Avraham Avinu has a son
• Hagar is driven away
• Avraham Avinu sharpens knife for an important, painful trial
What is the meaning behind these Parsha parallels? Why does history repeat itself?
