  3. Morality, Justice and our Rights to the Land of Israel: Abraham

    Rabbi Dr. Daniel Tropper | Hour and 6 minutes

    Parashat Lekh Lekha seems to begin a series of stories that appear random in terms of their sequence and content. We find, however, that there is structure and purpose to these stories. What is Avraham's mission, and how do these stories cohere into a greater narrative that reflect Avraham's aspirations, missions, setbacks, success and enduring messages? How do the setbacks, too, impart messages about morality and the Land of Israel that continue to play out throughout the generations? 

  4. The Second Lekh Lekha

    Rabbi Jonathan Snowbell | 16 minutes

    This parasha contains the second "Lekh Lekha" story - God once again commands Avraham to go forth on a mission. But is Rashi's comment on the first "Lekh Lekha" (in Chapter 12), that it means "go for your benefit and goodness" still relevant in Vayera? In Parashat Lekh Lekha, Avraham was commanded to go and sacrifice his past, leaving his birthplace for a new land. Here, Avraham is being commanded to go and sacrifice his future. Unlike Parashat Lekh Lekha, there are no promises here - just a commandment. As we explore this second "Lekh Lekha" and examine the parallels to the first "Lekh Lekha," we gain insight into Avraham's commitment.

  5. Parshat Lech-Lecha Part 1: Go Forth!

    Rabbi Alex Israel | 30 minutes

    Perek 12 begins the Avraham narratives with God’s commandment to relocate to Canaan, and continues with Avraham and Sara’s journey to Egypt. We learn of God’s promise to Avraham of land and offspring, and notice that this promise becomes compromised repeatedly throughout the narratives.

    In this shiur we will follow Abraham through his life's journey – a journey that begins with questions of livelihood, children's education, marital relationships, and barrenness, in a constant effort to spread the name of God in the world – that ends in the sublime moment of the Akeidah.
