Parashas Vayeira: Avraham and Islam

October 22, 2021 Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss Season 6 Episode 15
Machshavah Lab
Parashas Vayeira: Avraham and Islam
Show Notes

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 1-page dvar Torah I wrote entitled, Avraham and Islam. Were YOU aware that Hashem alludes to the rise of Islam in one of his statements to Avraham? That's what R' Avraham ben ha'Rambam thinks. And lest one view his statement as inappropriately "pro-Islamic," then perhaps you should consider the OTHER comment he makes in this parashah, in which he's critical of Islam. What IS Judaism's view on Islam? That is a question this dvar Torah attempts to answer.
