When the world is on fire, who will stop and answer God’s call? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Gila Fine explore Parshat Lech Lecha through the famous midrash of the bira doleket—the burning building that leads Avraham to encounter God. They unpack centuries of interpretation, from Heschel’s vision of divine beauty to Rabbi Sacks’s call to bridge the world as it is and the world as it ought to be. Gila offers a striking literary reading: God is trapped in the flames, calling out for help—and Avraham becomes the one who answers.
