In this four-part series, we examine one of the most mysterious and troubling stories in all of Tanakh - the story of Akedat Yitzhak (Beresheet 22:1-19). We discuss the selection of this narrative as the קריאת התורה for (2nd day) Rosh haShanah (#1), the larger narrative contexts within which this story operates (#2), some classical approaches to unraveling the mystery of this "test" (#3) and some suggestions for a new approach to understanding this startling story (#4)
