Ep. 44 - Putting G-d on Hold
About this episode
This episode explores Avraham's decision to host strangers instead of attending to G-d, questioning the implications of his actions.
It's been three days since Avraham's circumcision. He is in pain, sweating in the midday heat, when G-d comes to visit him. Then three strangers appear in the distance, and Avraham runs toward them, brings them into his tent, and spends hours hosting them. G-d waits. The question at the center of this episode is how that is anything other than a profound act of disrespect towards the Creator. Rabbi Epstein traces what Avraham’s actions actually mean.
