Genesis / Bereshit

Abe sends his servant
To find a wife for Isaac
Rebecca’s the one

The picture above is from an animated version of this week’s parsha at G-dcast

Even Bob Dylan
Wrote an Akedah midrash
But not in haiku

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61.”

[from Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan]

Did Abe question G-d
As Dylan suggests he did?
What would you have done?

UPDATE:
Check out this short analysis of Dylan’s midrash:
Classic Rock Meets Midrash

Sarai tells Avram
Hagar can bear you a child
Ishmael is born

The Tower of Babel
It was an affront to G-d
Mankind was scattered

G-d confused their speech
Communication was hard
Was paradise lost?

Cain’s question to G-d:
“Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The right answer?  “Yes”

Jacob blesses sons

But some don’t sound like blessings

Just some honesty

He tells his brothers,

“I’m Joseph, is dad alive?”

Then he forgives them

Pharoah had a dream

Which Joseph interpreted

With some help from G-d

Joseph’s tale begins

Jacob’s fave; brothers hate him

He was a dreamer
