AKEIDAS YITZCHAK
Why "the Mizbe'ach" (with the definite article)?
What does the term 'Akeidah' mean?
An Olah is not usually slaughtered atop the Mizbe'ach. Why did Avraham intend to do so?
Throughout this section, it says "Yitzchak Beno." Why at this point does it say only "Beno"?
AN ANGEL CALLS OUT
Why did the angel call Avraham's name twice?
Why was it necessary to add, "and don't do anything to him?"
After Avraham's test, what was now known (or demonstrated) that was not known before?
Why (in the next Aliyah, 22:16) does the angel later speak in Hashem's name, "Ne'um Hashem" - but not in this Pasuk?
A RAM IN YITZCHAK'S STEAD
How did a ram suddenly appear out of nowhere? What made Avraham realize that it was there for him to sacrifice in place of Yitzchak?
What can we expound from these words, in connection to Rosh Hashanah?
How did Avraham demonstrate that the ram was in Yitzchak's stead?
THE SITE FOR AVODAH
What is the meaning of the name "Hashem Yir'eh"? Why does the Torah then repeat, "today it will be said... 'Hashem will be seen'"?
Yir'eh is spelled the same way as Yir'ah - fear of Hashem. What did Avraham now accomplish in the trait of Yir'ah?
Chazal point out that Avraham referred to the site of the Beis Hamikdash as a "mountain," Yitzchak perceived it as a "field," and Yaakov as a "house." Why?
