🎬 Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, asks the question that decides everything: what is faith worth when G-d promises children, blessing and livelihood — and then every single thing goes the other way?
Abraham is told “go forth from your land” with promises of a great name, of children, of blessing. He gets up and goes — with simplicity. And then: no children, no livelihood, debts everywhere, famine in every city he reaches, Sarah taken from him. Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, notes that this trial lasted sixty-two years. Anyone can serve G-d when the reward lands immediately — but that, he says, is commerce, not faith.
True faith is standing between two absolute opposites: the will of G-d on one side, and on the other every difficulty and every contradiction. Then the Akeida — “through Isaac shall your offspring be named,” and now, “offer him as a sacrifice.” Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, says Abraham knew that simplicity and faith rise above every question. And the same applies to charity: the moment you take it on — don’t wait. The waiting is where the questions are born.
