(woman's voice) Where d'you have it
last, Dad? Try to remember.

:17:29
Sit down.
:17:31
(TV) Thank you and congratuIations.
:17:48
(teacher) ''..and offer him there
as a sacrifice...

:17:50
..on a mountain that I wiII show you. ''
:17:53
Everyone, what's reaIIy going on here?
ShIomo?

:17:57
(boy) It was a test of Abraham's faith,
of his devotion to God.

:18:00
Isaac wasn't his onIy son.
IshmaeI was his son, too.

:18:04
- The onIy son he Ioved.
- Oh, they onIy kiII them if they Iove them(!)

:18:08
Danny,
as usuaI you have something to add?

:18:11
It's not about Abraham's faith.
:18:13
It's about God's power.
:18:15
God says ''You know how powerfuI I am?''
:18:18
''I can make you do anything I want,
no matter how stupid. ''

:18:21
''Even kiII your own son. ''
:18:23
''Because I'm everything
and you're nothing. ''

:18:26
OK, Danny, but if Hashem is everything
and we are nothing,...

:18:31
..how then are we to judge His actions?
:18:33
We have free wiII and inteIIigence,
which God aIIegedIy gave us.

:18:37
What are you taIking about?
God never Iets Abraham kiII Isaac.

:18:41
He gives him the ram
so he doesn't have to.

:18:43
PersonaIIy, I think that's a Iie.
:18:45
(teacher) You think? Based on what?
:18:48
There's Midrash supporting it.
My father read a book by ShaIom SpiegeI,...

:18:52
..that said Isaac died and was reborn.
:18:55
No-one foIIows that Midrash.
:18:57
I do! I foIIow it. But OK,
say God provided the ram. So what?
