Next week, from Sunday night until Wednesday at sunset, we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year. This year, Marcela focuses on the figure of Isaac, son of Abraham, because the Torah readings for both days of the holiday focus on Sarah\\u2019s conceiving and giving birth to Isaac, Hagar\\u2019s banishment into the desert, and also on the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah.
