The Akeidah is not only about sacrifice, but about Avraham Avinu’s ultimate choice: Hashem over even the truth that led him to discover Him. This piece explores why Avraham struggled so deeply, what he earned for all generations, and how this eternal relationship that transcends logic and understanding, became embedded in Jewish DNA. On Rosh Hashanah, we ask Hashem to remember us not only by strict judgment, but through this bond that goes beyond what we deserve, and to respond with mercy and redemption.
