The End Is Near! And So Is The Beginning! Get on the Winning Side!

In the Torah G-d tests Abraham ten times. How was he able to pass the tests? By having faith and trust in G-d. This trust is a gift to all of us from our holy ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

In the Torah G-d tests Abraham 10 times!

1. G-d commands him to leave his home at age 75. 6. G-d commands Abraham to circumcise himself at age 99. 2. G-d sends him to Canaan, than makes him leave because of a famine. 7. Sara is again kidnapped and taken to King Avimelech's palace. 3. Sara is kidnapped and taken to Pharaoh's palace. 8. G-d commands Abraham to send Hagar away. 4. Abraham has to fight four kings to rescue his nephew Lot. 9. G-d commands Abraham to send Ishmael away. 5. A childless Abraham has to take Hagar for a wife. 10. G-d commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.

For passing all 10 tests, G-d blessed Abraham's children and gave them the 10 Commandments.
