Dear ,
This week, the weekly Torah reading Vayera, angels visit Abraham
and Sarah, informing them that Sarah would give birth to a child despite her advanced age. The angels whisk Lot and his daughters out of Sodom, and overturn and destroy the entire region. Abimelech, king of the Philistines, attempts to make Sarah part of his harem, but through divine intervention she is released unharmed. Isaac is born and Ishmael is expelled from Abraham's household. Abraham makes a peace treaty with Abimelech. The story of the "Binding of Isaac" is recounted – Isaac's
"near-sacrifice" experience.

Studio See 022. With Sukkot having come to a close a full three weeks
ago, we would expect that pretty much everyone who came to Jerusalem for the Feast of Sukkot has now returned home. Such was the situation recorded in the Gospel of John at the close of Chapter 7, which records Jesus’ visit to Jerusalem during Sukkot. That chapter ends simply: “Everyone went to his home.”
