Shabbat Shalom from Shmuel!

The Story That Changed the World: Ishmael and Isaac


Listen Later

The story of Ishmael and Isaac begins as a tale of faith, generosity, and heartbreak—and becomes the foundation of a struggle that still shapes our world today. In this week’s episode, we return to the tents of Abraham and Sarah, where an act of compassion toward Hagar sets in motion generations of tension and divine purpose.

Why did God choose Isaac to inherit Abraham’s covenant? What spiritual truths lie in Sarah’s painful decision to send Hagar and Ishmael away? And how do these ancient choices still echo in Israel’s story today?

Join us as we explore Parshat Vayera and uncover the faith, conflict, and divine promise that began in the desert and continues to define God’s plan for His people.
