Parshas Vayaira-Responsibility Over Pain-Rebroadcast 2025

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn talks about the powerful lesson we learn from the Parsha on how we need to realize our responsibilities even in the face of pain. We see from Hagar action show we are not supposed to act. He also discusses the true tolerance of Abraham. How we must learn to seperate the action from the person. Lastly he brings out a lesson from the binding of Isaac on how we never loose when we do what Hashem wants. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.
