"To The Land I Will Show You" ✡ Our Neighborhood Was Attacked - ISRAEL365

And the Lord said to Abram, "Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you." GENESIS (12:1) וַיֹּאמֶר יְ-הוָה אֶל אַבְרָם לֶךְ לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ אֶל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַרְאֶךָּ בראשית יב:א va-yo-mer a-do-nai el av-ram lekh l'-kha may-ar-tz'-kha u-mi-mo-lad-t'-kha u-mi-bayt a-vee-kha el ha-a-retz a-sher ar-e-ka

Shabbat Inspiration In this week's Torah portion (Genesis 12-17), Abraham is commanded to leave everything behind and head to the Holy Land with the words, 'lekh l'kha', literally "go for yourself." Since it would have been enough for God to command him 'lekh' ("go"), we ask what is added with the word 'l'kha' ("for yourself")?  According to the commentator Rashi, the word 'l'kha' implies that the journey to the Land will be for Abraham's benefit, despite the hardship of leaving his birthplace. The People of Israel have suffered many hardships for their dedication to the Land of Israel including these past few difficult weeks.
