Story of abraham
Abraham and his wife sara are told to leave their homeland and find a new land with god promising they’d make a great nation and bless other nations through them
When Abraham’s wife Sarah both of them were old, God promised him a son.
More time passed, Abraham has more conversations with God
God changes his name from Abram to Abraham
-Sarai to Sarah.
Later on, when it seemed most unlikely, God came through, and Sarah and Abraham had a son named Isaac.
God later tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham proved his respect for God by following through, but right when he was about to kill Isaac God stopped him.
Why is abraham important to jews
because he spread the message of monotheism
he went against his family
he was incredibly loyal
