Lech L’cha: Finding G-d Through Life’s Journey


Listen Later

In this discussion of the Torah Portiom of Lech Lecha, we delve into the profound meaning behind the first commandment God gave to our forefather Abraham - Lech Lecha, translated as 'Go for yourself.' 

We question the necessity of the word 'l'cha,' meaning 'for you.' Why didn’t God simply say 'lech,' or 'go?'

We discuss an insightful explanation, suggesting that 'lech l'cha' means 'go to you.' This prompts us to reflect on those moments in our lives where we feel lost or disconnected from our path, questioning our choices and the direction in which we are headed. In these moments of doubt and frustration, God’s commandment serves as a reminder of our unique missions in life.

According to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak, God is telling us to go outside of our comfort zones, to embrace the circumstances, people, and challenges He puts in our paths, understanding that these are all integral parts of our spiritual journeys. When we feel like we are veering off course, it is crucial to remember that God is guiding us towards our true essence, our missions, and ultimately, towards ourselves.

Just like Avraham, we are all on our own unique journeys, full of unexpected twists and turns. But as we navigate through life's challenges and opportunities, let's remember that everything we encounter is for us, helping us to grow, learn, and fulfill our purposes in this world. So, embrace the journey, trust the process, and remember - it’s all for you, coordinated by G-d.
