Description

Why doesn't the Torah tell us anything about Avraham's back story before he was chosen by God? In this shiur we tried to use a sophisticated view of midrash to understand what Chazal were trying to tell us in the midrashim about Avraham Avinu. This shiur was given at the opening session of the UOS Women's Beit Midrash in Houston, TX.
