Mind of a Monotheist | 5 | Chayei Sara | Of Fish, Fox and Martyrdom, by Rav David Debow

What if we've had the fox and the fish backwards all along? A new reading of Rabbi Akiva's final parable, a case for the "Antimartyr," and a look at female agency in Chaya Sara.

Of Fish, Fox and Martyrdom continues our discussion of the Akeida from last week's parasha. We return to Chaya Sara to discuss Mergers and Acquisitions and the contentious question of female agency.  In both parts, I offer innovative readings and tackle fraught topics. I'm curious how it lands with my listeners. Please share your thoughts in the comment section below, or write to me directly at [email protected]. All feedback, especially from those who wish to argue with me, is more than welcome.
