Prayers of the Avot: Avraham (II) and Yitzhak

In this session, we will examine a second reference in the Talmud to Avraham’s prayer. Then we will look at two Talmudic sources about prayers of Yitzhak.  Through learning these passages, we will better understand what the prayers were about. And we will encounter in all of these passages how Hazal and later commentators understood the unique attributes of each of the Avot that are expressed in their prayers.

I have posted sources for you to look over before the class, if desired.
