Vayera 5782

This is Torah Talk for the week of October 17th, 2021

Gen. 18:22   The men went on from there to Sodom, while Abraham remained standing before the Lord.

The Bible says Abraham remained standing before the Lord — but the Masorah (the rabbinic tradition that accompanies the Bible) says it was originally the other way around.  Who are you gonna believe?
