Go forth from your native land and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you. Deuteronomy 12:1 (The Israel Bible™) לֶךְ־לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ דברים יב:א lekh l’-KHA may-ar-tz’-KHA u-mi-mo-lad-t’-KHA u-mi-BAYT a-VEE-kha el ha-A-retza-SHER ar-E-ka

Today's Israel Inspiration With the words lech l’cha (לך לך), literally "Go for yourself," Avraham is commanded to leave everything behind and head to the Holy Land. It would have been enough for God to command him lech (לך), "go." What is added by the word l’cha (לך)?  According to the well-known Biblical commentator Rashi, the word l’cha implies that the travel was for Avraham’s benefit. Though he is leaving his homeland, family, and father’s house, God promises Avraham that the journey will be beneficial to him.  These words kick off the unbreakable relationship between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.
