This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

Like Father, Like Son? Often readers picture Avraham as an active trailblazer, and Yitzchak as but a passive shadow, whose main contribution is being a link in the chain. Is this an accurate depiction?


  • What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of each character?
  • What are the main points of similarity and difference between the two?
  • Perhaps surprisingly, the stories of father and son are actually quite similar, and exploring the parallels helps a reader appreciate both the overlap between and the uniqueness of each leader.  See Avraham and Yitzchak for more.
