Parashat Lech Lecha 5783: The Beauty of Sarah

Posted by Pardes Faculty on October 31, 2022
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Bereishit (Genesis), Torah, Lech Lecha

In this week’s Torah portion, we examine a story that many today would consider jarring. How do we take the afflictions placed upon the Egyptians for Sarah’s kidnapping? Was Sarah a victim of Pharoah and patriarchy, or were the Egyptians victims of deception?
