Insight on the Parasha

Parashat Vayera

In this week’s Parasha we learn about the birth of Yitzchak. The name Yitzchak represents simcha, as it means to smile or laugh. R Moshe Shternbuch points out the irony in Yitzchak’s name. Yitzchak was known to represent Din, which is justice, and seemingly represents a more serious lifestyle. Why then would his name be Yitzchak, happiness?

Dedicated l’iluy nishmat Yehuda Ben HaRav Michael a”h
