Erev Shabbat Program | Chayei Sara | Mastering the Fire Within: Avraham's Final Blessing

Chayei Sara | Mastering the Fire Within: Avraham's Final Blessing, by Rav Ezra Bick and Rav Yair Kahn

A person with no yetzer is hardly human. What made Avraham's final years different?

Rav Ezra Bick reads "Hashem blessed Avraham with everything" as a special gift: complete mastery over a passion that was otherwise unquenchable. True greatness keeps the fire of the yetzer burning while controlling it. Rav Yair Kahn examines how Avraham's servant chose Rivka and why the two accounts of his mission differ. The program closes with insights on old age and ethical behavior.
