so basically we learned about the akedah. Its very interesting because its all so very focused on avrahams relationship with God. We ask all these questions about gods motif and whether he was testing Avraham. We also ask a lot of questions about avraham and whether he passed gods test. The questions about god and avraham go on and on. Even sarah has a bit of a role in the next parsha since she dies and the midrash says that she found out about her husband sacrificing her only son whom she waited for years to have. Who is missing here? The lovely son Yitzchak! I always wondered how he felt about this entire situation and there is not a word mentioned about him and his feelings. Did he know something was up? didnt he get suspicious? wasnt he super afraid if he did know his own father was going to kill him!?!?! Personally, i think that by the end of the little trip that avraham and yitchak took, yitchak knew taht something was going on with Avraham. I wonder if he knew but simply accepted his fate. I wonder why nothing is mentiones about Yitzchak. why do you think that is?
