I don't know if anything has. How can something change the personal perception of someone 75 years ago?What do you think has changed since?
Not AFTER the binding.Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was 90 and lived another 37 years. I'm sure that she saw Isaac.
Among some, yes. Among others, white collar jobs are less found.I think the perception that physical labor isn't the way to go is pretty well ingrained in Jewish thought.
No, he was about 40.Isaac was likely a young man at the time of the binding.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your mightMy credo is, "Every job...a masterpiece", even mopping floors.

"The meek shall inherit the earth" is a famous promise from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount
No, because Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was 90, and she lived to 127. Since she died shortly after the binding, that would make Isaac 37.Most support a young man, possibly early twenties.
Stay on track. Your interpretation makes Israel and God look bad. My interpretation makes Israel and God look good. According to your interpretation Israel is founded on deception because the only way God could keep his promise was for Rebekah to deceive Isaac. According to my interpretation, Israel was never intended to be founded by deception because the point was to test whether or not Rebekah would trust God to keep his promise. The account was about trusting God. The account was not about deception.False dilemma.
Neither.
Furthermore, according to your logic,
Sarah didn't see Isaac after binding,
due to lack of trust, or any sin?
Be careful.

But if you want to believe that God planned for Rebekah to deceive Isaac to keep the promise that God made to Abraham and Isaac, be my guest. I'll continue to believe that if Rebekah had trusted in God and passed God's test that God would have made it so Isaac changed his mind and gave Jacob God's blessing. Just like God found a way for Abraham to not kill Isaac.
