Raphael ShoreGUEST
Your children are going to be the people that are going to be tasked with bringing my message, God's message, into the world.
Raphael ShoreGUEST
And at that very moment, before we went, moved on, at the very beginning of Genesis, in Lech Lecha, in the beginning of the third section, God says to Abraham at the covenant, called the covenant between the pieces, and God gives Abraham a vision of what's going to happen throughout his and that vision was not pretty that vision is the vision that happened that the Jewish people are going to be ruled over by four different empires throughout our history and we would be persecuted and God says explicitly you will go down to a nation and you will be enslaved for a couple hundred years and that was Egypt came out of before we came to the land of Israel and settled in it before Mount Sinai.
Raphael ShoreGUEST
So it was all by design, which is amazing.
Raphael ShoreGUEST
So Abraham was tasked with this mission.
Aryeh ShulmanHOST
That would not be dark emori because the whole segula of it is dependent on the historis of chuvah, the thoughts that we are going to be having.
Aryeh ShulmanHOST
The moral takes it a step further, and he brings the famous Ramban, which we've mentioned it many times, the Ramban Parshat Lech Lecha, about the concept of the Brisbane of Asarim.
Aryeh ShulmanHOST
Avraham Avinu asks, how will I know? So Hashem told him that children will get Eretz Yisrael.
Aryeh ShulmanHOST
How do I know? Okay, what are we going to do? We're going to take some animals, we're going to cut them apart, and do some things.
David BassousHOST
So the truth is, the Ramban says, very interesting idea.
David BassousHOST
It says, when Abraham Avinu goes Lech Lecha, the first mitzvah, Lech Lecha.
David BassousHOST
What's Lech Lecha? Go to...
speaker_2UNKNOWN
Israel.
David BassousHOST
To Israel.
David BassousHOST
Go to Israel.
David BassousHOST
Go to Israel.
David BassousHOST
Lech Lecha.
David BassousHOST
Destiny is based on a place one pe- person lives.
David BassousHOST
That's another reason Hashem says to Abraham, "Lech lecha." Leave your place and go to a new place.
David BassousHOST
You over here, not gonna be successful.
David BassousHOST
Over there, you're gonna be successful.
Meyer YedidHOST
So what is the first message that Hashem told the first Jew? The first message to the first Jew.
Meyer YedidHOST
What, what did he tell him? He told him, "Lech lecha." Lech lecha means go for yourself, to become yourself, lecha, to become you, lech.
Meyer YedidHOST
You have to go.
Meyer YedidHOST
From where? From where? From your land.
Meyer YedidHOST
Why do you say it backwards? If you leave your country, you're done already.
Meyer YedidHOST
There's no more room to speak about any other leaving.
Meyer YedidHOST
And therefore, Hazal tell us, "No, no, no, you're missing the point." That's not what Lech Lecha means.
Meyer YedidHOST
Lech Lecha is not talking about a physical leaving.
speaker_0HOST
Kol Yisrael means there is a sense of gathering of unity amongst the people at this point.
speaker_0HOST
If we wanted to just play with the word Vayelech for a second, we can say that this is the continuation of Avraham's Lech Lecha.
speaker_0HOST
We had an extra Lech over there.
speaker_0HOST
We have an extra Lech over here.
speaker_0HOST
In very quick order, he's going to say, And this is for us today.
speaker_0HOST
We need to be We need strength.
speaker_0HOST
In order for us to be people of Vayelech, in order for us to continue the Lech Lecha that Abraham started, in order for us to have the movement, we need We need strength.
speaker_0HOST
physical strength and we need mental strength.
Sam KohanHOST
According to the text, God tests Abraham, Adonai Nisayet Avraham, by commanding him to sacrifice his son, his only son, his beloved son, Isaac.
Sam KohanHOST
This triple identification of Isaac mirrors an earlier command in the Torah portion of Lech Lecha, given to Abraham when he begins his great journey towards God and monotheism.
Sam KohanHOST
Leave, leave your land, your birthplace, your father's home.
Sam KohanHOST
Now he is being told to kill his son, his only son, his beloved son.
speaker_0HOST
Look at Avraham, your father, and at Sarah, who gave birth to you.
speaker_0HOST
For when he, Avraham, was but one person, and not really part of anything bigger, I called him, and I blessed him in Parshas Lech Lecha, and I made him many.
speaker_0HOST
So if you want to look for inspirations and role models while you are in exile with the world against you and you're trying to do the right thing, look to Avraham and Sarah for inspiration and guidance.
speaker_0HOST
This is a fascinating phrase for two reasons.
RamiHOST
What is he told? He says, Elohim, right? He says, take your son, your only son, who? Yitzchak, that you love.
RamiHOST
Ve'lech lecha, nice.
RamiHOST
Recalling lech lecha from the beginning, right? And go to the Eretz Hamoriah.
RamiHOST
Go to the land of Moriah.
Yossi KatzGUEST
And what I realized and what I spoke about then, and hopefully it's resonating with other people as well, is that Aram ultimately, that is his mission in life.
Yossi KatzGUEST
And that was Lech Lecha.
Yossi KatzGUEST
that life is about that constant journey, about finding the, not only the beauty and the meaning in every moment, but recognizing that, you know, for Avram, it wasn't about molding Lowe in his image.
Yossi KatzGUEST
It was about the time he spent with Lowe and the impact he had on him in those moments.
