DID YOU KNOW THAT

You probably know that Yitzchok prayed for a child in this week’s parsha. But did you know that Rav Yonasan Ben Uziel in his Targum on Torah tells us that to beseech Hashem for such a great need Yitzchok Avinu traveled to the mountain where Akeidas Yitzchok took place — i.e., to the Har HaMoria (the place of the future Beis Hamikdash).

Yitzchok Avinu showed to us that this is what a Jew needs to do when he needs to cry out to his Father in Heaven - i.e., he needs to pray at the place of the Beis Hamikdash - and in our times, at the Kotel.
