The Avot Observing Torah

What did Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov know about Torah before the Torah was given at Sinai? Join Rabbi Dr. Stuart Fischman as he explores the intriguing question of how the Avot observed and related to the mitzvot—and why the Torah and our prayers place such emphasis on our connection to them. Examine the approaches of the classical commentators and discover what the Avot’s relationship with Torah can teach us about our own covenant with Hashem.
