Description		    Liturgigal poem for recitation on Rosh haShanah prior to the sounding of the shofar (ram's horn). Akedah (binding (of Isaac), the Pentateuchal narrative (Gen. 22:1–19) describing G-d's command to Abraham to offer Isaac, the son of his old age, as a sacrifice. Obedient to the command, Abraham takes Isaac to the place of sacrifice and binds him (va-ya'akod, Gen. 22:9, a word found nowhere else in the Bible in the active, conjugative form) on the altar. The angel of the L-rd then bids Abraham to stay his hand and a ram is offered in Isaac's stead. The Akedah became in Jewish thought the supreme example of self-sacrifice in obedience to G-d's will and the symbol of Jewish martyrdom throughout the ages.
