Lech Lecha - Smashing Idols

What is the significance of the relationship between Avraham and his brother Haran, who dies? Why does this relationship manifest in the marriage of Avraham to Haran's daugther Sarah-Yiscah? Why does this also lend itself to Haran's son, Lot, accompanying him in his travels? What is the concept of idolatry, and how does it manifest today? What was Avraham trying to prove in his conversation with Nimrod, as he expressed the way different elements of nature are superior to others? Why does the argument end when Avraham expresses the superior nature of man? Why does Avraham experience the miracle of being thrown in the fiery furnace and survive, yet Haran, his brother, dies as a result? Why was Haran only affected by the fire on his innards, and his body remained unscathed? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.
