04. “Vayehi Achar” The Akeida (Machon Chana (5775/ 2014)) Class Four.
WEDNESDAY 18 KISLEV 5775/ DECEMBER 10 2014.
The Preparations for the Akeida: Avrohom takes the animal, the servants, and then Yitzchok in that order, from the lowest to the highest, as would be the normal order of a Korban, first sacrifice the animal then elevate the man. But that is where the similarity ends: in this case Avrohom and Yitzchok go alone, as the animal is not being sacrificed to help the man emerge, but the man is being sacrificed (or so they think) to reveal the essence.
