The Sages associate Isaac with the attribute of strength, but how does the story of the wells show us Isaac's might?

Join Adina Blaustein and Beth Lesch as they discover the true greatness of Isaac by exploring the striking parallels between Isaac and another Biblical character known for his strength, Samson the Mighty.
