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:
ย ย ย ย โข Avraham Avinu is promised a son
ย ย ย ย โข Lot is in danger
ย ย ย ย โข Sarah Imeinu is kidnapped by a king
ย ย ย ย โข Avraham Avinu has a son
ย ย ย ย โข Hagar is driven away
ย ย ย ย โข Avraham Avinu sharpens knife for an important, painful trial
What is the meaning behind these Parsha parallels? Why does history repeat itself?
