Parashat Lech L'cha opens with a bold call, commanding Abram to leave his land, his family, and his father's house to journey into the unknown. But why is God sending Abram on this journey to carry the promise into new lands?
One of the most common questions asked about Parashat Lech L'cha concerns the very first verse: Why does God command Abraham "Lech L'cha," adding in the seemingly superfluous l'cha (for yourself)?
In Parashat Lech L'cha, Abram has been promised by God that he would father a child, but Sarai remains childless. Seeking to provide him with a much-needed and much-desired heir, Sarai concocts a plan.
The spiritual journey is not a destination but rather it is a manifestation of our life’s purpose. It is now and here that we can listen to the quiet beyond the quiet.
