Story Behind The Book

Of the first three of our forefathers, Isaac is the one about whom the Torah records the least information and commentary. Sages and scholars have had little more to say about Isaac. I was compelled to write this book on spirituality,with Isaac as my main example, because of the inspiration I received from Adonai on parashah Toledot.
