Lecture by R’ Bernath: Abraham and Positive Transformation

You’ll surely enjoy this video lecture by Rabbi Yisroel Bernath. He is the creator of the highly acclaimed animated move, “Young Abraham”.

Rabbi Bernath joins Unitetostudy.org with a fascinating review of teachings from Midrash about the first 75 years of Abraham’s life. This period is skipped over in the text of Genesis.

After humanity and the creatures of the land were saved from the flood in Noah’s ark, the world was renewed, but under the dictatorship of Nimrod, it degenerated again into idolatry and rebellion against G-d, until Abraham arose with the power of goodness and kindness, to illuminated the world with his beacon of spiritual light and truth.

This brings one to ask: Is spiritual darkness real, or is it just an absence of spiritual light? By giving his message of monotheism and the 7 Noahide Commandments through kindness, Abraham made a great positive transformation of the world. So can you!
