Parshas Vayeira: Believe It Or Not

What’s said in this shiur

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

okay the first one is at the end of last week's parashah Hashem comes to avraham avina and he tells them to have two important pieces of information to tell you the first one he says you know your wife Sarai that nice lady you're married to that's not her name anymore she's getting a new name she's no longer called Sarai we're taking out the yurd she's now called Sarah and by the way she hasn't had children for the last 90 years but guess what she's gonna have a child so Hashem tells Sarah around two pieces of information first of all you have a new wife your wife's name is uh has been changed and number two number two you're gonna have a child you can have a child so what was avraham's reaction if you look at number one avraham Abraham fell on his face and he laughed believe what he said in his heart Halloween you think I could have a child at the age of a hundred s could Sarah have a child she's 90. it's impossible so again what was avraham's reaction to the news he left he left it seems he was incredulous then we have again in this week's Parsha where the malachim come to avraham avram serves them a festive meal an elaborate meal and what do the malachim say to avraham by the way in exactly one year Sarah is going to have a child and again Sarah overhears this Sarah over here is this now we're assuming right now that Sarah had heard this before because at the time that Hashem told avraham that they're going to have a child presumably avram told Sarah so now someone is hearing the malachem tell avraham the news that in a year they're going to have a child they care about Lima Sarah left in herself and she said
