We will look at a midrash with a different approach to what we saw last time in the Sefat Emet. The midrash looks at a verse from the Book of Yirmiahu (Jeremiah), wherein the prophet castigates the people for offering human sacrifices. The midrash takes each word as an allusion to different parts of Tanakh where people find justification to offer human sacrifices.  

Are there values so important that they would take precedence over everything else, even one’s family?  Or are there things in one’s personal life that are so valuable that you should never relinquish them? In the story of Akeidat Yitzhak, is the willingness to offer a human sacrifice demanded for the sake of God’s name?
