[Avodah] avraham and sarah in Eygpt

[Eli Turkel]

<<The above is a gross misrepresentation of the Alshech - who raises
the above question and at the same time points out that Chazal praised
Avraham for this. The Alshech goes on to answer this apparent conflict
and explains why what Avraham did was praiseworthy! He says Avraham
and Sarah's activities helped prepare the way for their descendants to
be able to withstand the depravity in Egypt when they would be exiled
there. >>

Let be clear that R. Ari Kahn also defends the actions of Abraham
based on an Ohr HaChaim

apologies if things were misunderstood or I misinterperted anything

BTW he has a reference
See Torah Shelemah, Lech Lecha note 145 where the halachic
implications are considered. (of Abraham risking Sarah)
