The Freeman Files

Faith, Fanaticism, and the Binding of Isaac
The fanatic has all the answers. The man of faith knows he knows nothing at all.
Abraham’s Ultimate Test
Abraham constructed a ladder up to G-d. A ladder of insight and enlightenment. Then G-d pulled the ladder out from under him.
How to Be a Father
It’s the first dialogue there is between a father and his son in the Torah. It starts like this:
Isaac to Abraham: “My father?”
Abraham to Isaac: “Here I am, my son.”
The Ultimate Test of Abraham
What was so great about the binding of Isaac?
Why does an all-knowing G-d need to test anybody? Shouldn't He know what is in our hearts? And why is Abraham's test of faith "the entire glory of Israel and their merit before their Father in Heaven"?
Caring
Chosen
Food Beyond the Angels
Vayeirah
Eating is a spiritual activity.
In His Presence
To pray is to speak from a place where there is no room for you to exist.
The Heresy of Kindness
They asked the Baal Shem Tov: "The Talmud tells us that for every thing G-d forbade, He provided us something permissible. What did He permit that corresponds to the sin of heresy?" Replied the Besht : "Acts of kindness"
Needing One Another
A healthy world is one in which we realize how much each we need each other.
Protest
Do not silence those who are angry with G-d, nor argue with them. They have a right. Perhaps G-d will hear.
