Rabbi Sacks writes of Abraham as the most influential man who ever lived; father of many nations…the founder of faith by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We know nothing about him, except that he was singled out by God to become “the father of many nations”. Abraham’s life is centered around his role as a father—waiting for a child, birth of Ishmael, tension between Sarah and Hagar, birth of Isaac and the Akeidah…Fatherhood is everything.
