The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mashiach Kelaty’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

This week's paras is and we've just come away from the where Abraham passed his 10th test. And this test according to most commentators is the last and final and most difficult test that Arainu had to pass. But there's one commentator But there's one commentator who says that it was not the last test. There was one more test and that test is in this week's parasa. It's right in the beginning. It is the death of Sarah Emanu of Raavinu's wife. So Rabenu Yona is the one who says that this was his last test. Now why why would he consider this a test? why would he consider this a test? All Aramainu had to do was bury his wife and finish. That's a test. So there's a few answers to why this was indeed one of a Ramavinu's tests with Akeda.

He was totally He was totally he was totally nullified to the he had no self. Everything he did was for Hashem. Totally connected. So with the he was psyched up for it. Here he's just coming home. Now he's coming home and he sees this terrible tragedy. What? What? He was totally not in the frame of mind. That was why it was a test for him. That's one answer. Another answer is like this.
