The Akedah Project: Original Slam Poem on Sarah’s Experience

High school junior Talia Bodner’s original slam poem on Sarah’s experience at the Akedah.

“I cried and I cried until my eyes were dried. Why didn’t I listen to that doubt inside? Why couldn’t I tell when my husband lied, I always knew that God would override but why don’t I get any say in what they decide? How will I be able to go back to his side?”
