The Akedah is read on Rosh Hashanah and has never been settled. Medieval commentators read it as the supreme test passed; modern readers, especially after the Shoah, have read it as a text about a father who should have argued — and note that Abraham argued vigorously for Sodom's strangers and said nothing for his own son. The rabbis noticed too: one tradition has Sarah dying of the news. Isaac and Abraham are not recorded as speaking again after the mountain. The tradition keeps the discomfort rather than resolving it.
