It is very comfortable to think of Sedom as a city of thugs and perverts. After all, is that not the reason why God decided to destroy it? However, if one takes a closer look at the Torah’s presentation of these events, one could reach almost the opposite conclusion – that Sedom was a city with culture, boasting a society not very different from our own.
In the following shiur we‘ll examine this possibility, as we analyze the contrast between Sedom and Avraham Avinu, while considering the very purpose for why God chose a special nation.
