And the verdict is: not guilty, by a razor-thin margin. An audience of more than 400 people had a chance to flex their \”Law & Order\” muscles while serving as the jury in the mock trial of Abraham — that\’s right, our founding forefather — held at the University of Judaism (UJ) Nov. 24.
At the sold-out event in the Gindi auditorium, Abraham was tried for the attempted murder of his son, Issac. The case was based on the Akedah, in the book of Genesis, otherwise known as the binding of Isaac, in which Abraham takes his son to a mountain and prepares to sacrifice him, only to be stopped by an angel.
