Vayeira – Part 4 – Isaac & Laughter
Rabbi David Kaplan
In Parshat Vayeira – Isaac & Laughter, Sarah gives birth to Isaac and declares, “God has made laughter for me; all who hear will laugh with me.” Isaac’s very name (“he will laugh”) reflects joy, surprise, and the transformation of doubt into faith. The episode highlights how divine promises bring unexpected happiness, turning impossibility into lasting joy for generations.
