1. The House of Bondage (Audio)

   Rabbi Chanoch Waxman | 22 minutes

   Yetziat Mizrayim(The Exodus from Egypt) parallels “Yetziat Sodom”(the Exodus from Sodom) in the time of Lot. Lot had the compassion of Abraham, but tragedy resulted when he could not break out of his “Sedom identity.” The challenge of the doorpost for Pesach Mitzrayim is for Bnei Yisrael — will they trust in God’s command? Can they break with their Egyptian identities and become God’s people?

2. The House of Bondage

8. Righteousness and Rescue: Noah, Lot and the Two Stories of the Flood

   Rabbi Chanoch Waxman

   תאריך פרסום: 5777 | | Hour and 11 minutes

   In this shiur, we will take a critical look at the righteousness of Noah. We will also discuss the way Hazal and the text approach the problems of the generation and the multifaceted narrative of the flood, as we address claims of biblical criticism. An intertextual comparative approach brings us to the story of Lot's rescue from Sodom and the aftermath of that destruction, as we compare and contrast the personalities of Noah, Lot, and Avraham.  Is there something from the text that justifies the traditional relativization of Noah's righteousness as compared to Avraham's? What explanation can we offer for Noah's decline after the flood? What does Noah's righteousness consist of, and what is his response to the Divine signal that it is time to rebuild the world?

   We discover different - and unequal - models of righteousness: Noah's is about survival and obedience, but Avraham's involves the important element of caring about the world.

    

9. And God Remembered Avraham, and He Sent Lot” – Behind the Scenes of the Rescue in Sedom

   Rabbi Gad Eldad

   Even though God had already decided to destroy the cities of the Plain, He reveals His intentions to Avraham before He actually executes His plan. Once Avraham hears about the plan, a discussion develops between him and God about the necessity of executing the punishment. Lot, Avraham's nephew and a newcomer to Sodom, is not mentioned in this dialogue. Why not? And what does Avraham's argument accomplish?

    Rabbi Alex Israel | 32 minutes

    What can we learn from the story of the battle between the four and five kings? Through a close examination of the text we can appreciate Avraham’s deep concern for Lot that extended despite their separation, Avraham’s connection to the land and his actions as a warrior. We can also see the beginning of God’s promises to Avraham in the beginning of the parsha come into fruition.
