Add a recording of this sentence:
"While Egypt is geographically lower, classical Torah commentators inferred that Abraham was lowering himself morally; in fact, after he and Sarah are ejected by Pharaoh, they 'go up' to the Negev. Following this concept, later rabbis identify a principle of yerida letsorech aliyah, 'to sink in order to rise,' roughly corresponding to the Alcoholics Anonymous insight about the value of hitting bottom."
