On Chayei Sarah and Friendship - Just One More Thing

I'm thinking of old friends. Actually, I'm thinking of one old friend. What can compare to weaving in an out in an organic way around Torah, comedy, life?

My friend shared some insights about Yitzchak. Yitzchak's major story is the akeidah, which represents his essence, that of being bound. He was bound to his father's ideals and he was bound/held back from recreating the wheel. His midah is gevurah. Eizeh hu gibur? Hakoveish et yitzro.

Yitzchak was the right midah at the right time. If everyone and their son is an Avraham then everyone is too busy inventing to pass forward the what has been built before you. Yitzchak was the needed link in the chain. He re-dug the wells of his father, he preserved his the reservoirs of truth his father hewed.
