Apparently you're referring to Genesis 22, in which Abraham demonstrated readiness to sacrifice his son but did not, in the end, need to do so. The importance of this is that it shows Abraham's unquestioning obedience. After having his aged and long-barren wife, Sarah, give birth to Isaac (whom God had promised him), Abraham put his service of God ahead of his love for Isaac, despite knowing that it was Isaac who would carry on his traditions. This has served as a model for those Jews who gave up their lives rather than abandon God.
