In this session, we continue south on our virtual journey in the footsteps of Avraham, reaching the city of Hebron. We take a virtual tour of the ancient sites, and understand the significance of Hebron as the place of “Hibur” (connection) and the deep roots that Avraham planted in the land by purchasing the field and cave of Makhpela as the burial site for his wife Sara. We’ll also discuss the next stage of the evolution of the Chosen People – the birth of Yitzchak and the choice of Yitzchak over Yishmael and Avraham’s other children. Why was this necessary – why couldn’t all of Avraham’s children be part of the Chosen People? Based on the ideas and philosophy elaborated on in my Am Levadad series: https://rabbihaber.net/am-levadad/.
