The Journey from Noah to Abraham | The Story of Avraham's Childhood

Gave this special workshop for Unite To Study and Noahide International this evening. I told the entire story of Abraham's childhood, as told in the Midrash. I used the Young Avraham film as a visual for the storytelling. It was really special to use Young Avraham and honour 10 years since it was released. I hope this enlightens your Torah study this week. You can watch it on my facebook page and YouTube channel.
