He rebelled against the system.
Everyone laughed at him, considered abnormal, extravagant. But he was not discouraged. He wanted to fix the problems in the society.
His father was a successful businessman, but he left his father's line, choosing his own path. He survived more than one bankruptcy, condemnation, problems in his personal life, was married more than once. But at the end he has fame, fortune and respect of the world.
And he has Jewish grandchildren.
People around the world listen to his experience; his name became a household word.
And last week, the whole world was only talking about him. And today, without a doubt, he, of all people ever living, has the greatest influence in the world. Want to know more about Abraham? Come to Shul this Shabbos, click here and / or join our Parsha class every Tuesday at noon.
