The Portion
"The Portion" is a podcast where Aaron Roller, a curious Orthodox Jew, sits down with his brother-in-law, Rabbi Jonathan Bienenfeld, to discuss the portion of the Torah that is read each week by Jews around the world. The conversation is informal and friendly, but not afraid to delve into the wealth of Jewish wisdom and interpretation. Guests may join to offer their takes on the portion as well.

Welcome to our talk about Parshat Vayera. In this episode, Aaron and Rabbi Bienenfeld talk about:
- What is an angel?
- Why did the patriarchs and matriarchs struggle with infertility?
- Why does Lot's wife turn into a pillar of salt?
- What is the message of the binding of Isaac.
It's pretty heady stuff this week as the conversation revolves around questions about G-d's justice and righteousness. If you want to join the conversation, please check out our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/The-Portion-1840699399318632/?modal=admin_todo_tour
