What can Avraham’s journey teach us about finding inner light when surrounded by uncertainty?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield is joined by Nechama Goldman Barash to delve into Parshat Lech Lecha. They discuss the complex dynamics between Sarai and Hagar, exploring themes of oppression, empathy, and power. Nechama reflects on Avraham’s journey as he grapples with his role in bringing godliness to the world, even without a clear path, and considers how his story challenges us to seek and create light in our own times of darkness.
