Avraham Avinu’s life is an amazing story of trial and tribulation, of triumph against overwhelming odds. It combines the epitome of loving kindness with perfect faith and unwavering obedience to Hashem. Avraham’s strength in overcoming every ordeal was indelibly transmitted into the very being of his descendants — the Jewish nation.
