This parsha is full of little vignettes about Abraham’s life, and it feels like a bunch of random episodes of “A Day in the Life of Abraham.” Is there some central theme here that can teach us why God chose Abraham to be the father of a great nation?

In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman shows us the common thread that weaves its way through all of these stories and ties them together into an epic saga. In each of these life events, Abraham faces a single struggle and this struggle holds the key to understanding why God chooses Abraham in the first place and what his mission is all about.
