Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in place of his son.
וַיִּשָּׂא אַבְרָהָם אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה־אַיִל אַחַר נֶאֱחַז בַּסְּבַךְ בְּקַרְנָיו וַיֵּלֶךְ אַבְרָהָם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הָאַיִל וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ לְעֹלָה תַּחַת בְּנוֹ
Vayisa Avraham et einav vayar, v’hinei ayil achar ne’echaz basvach b’karnav; vayelech Avraham vayikach et ha’ayil, vaya’alehu l’olah tachat b’no.
The Ram in the Thicket
By Sara Lamm
One of my children was born on Yom Kippur. But on Rosh Hashanah of that year, just ten days before he came into the world, I heard a beautiful Torah thought about the Shofar, and I knew what I wanted to name my son. Ayal (pronounced Eye-yal). It means ram. On the second day of Rosh Hashanah, we read the akeida, the binding of Isaac, from Genesis 22. Abraham raises the knife over his son. An angel calls out.
25 years after 9/11, three men who lived it are sitting down to tell their stories.
A national security expert. A teenager who celebrated that day and later left Islam. A brother whose sister never came home from the towers.

Tehran Loses the War, Turns Its Rage on Christians, Branding Them "Zionists"
Iran has spent the past year fighting a war with Israel and the United States, absorbing sweeping new sanctions, and putting down a civilian uprising that left tens of thousands dead. In the middle of that upheaval, the Islamic Republic has also escalated a campaign against a population that poses it no military threat at all: its own Christian minority.
Rosh Hashanah 5787; Israel’s NSC Sounds the Alarm on Islamist Terror on Jewish Holy Days

Britain NEVER Expected Israel’s Drastic Response To Sanctions!
This week, the UK took a "moral stand" against what they called "the atrocities being committed by Israel," which they claimed included "settler violence" and ethnic cleansing in the region they called the "West Bank", which Bible readers know as Judea and Samaria. Rabbi Wolicki explains how the UK has rejected the Hebrew Bible, truth, and reality.
