The Torah is meant to be read as guidance to the Jewish people for this very day. I’m this Dvar Torah, Nachmanides speaks straight to the Jewish people of today (Oct. 2023). Lech Lecha doesn’t just mean leaving behind bad traits and moving forward in life, it speaks on a general concept of leaving your comfort zone and coming to Israel, just as Avraham did. While I’m not usually one to make this statement, given recent events I feel more than ever that a Jew is safest in the holy land, where HaShem’s eyes are upon it from the beginning of the year until the end.
To all my brothers and sisters outside of Israel, it’s time to leave your comfort zones (which even these days are not so comfortable) and come home.
Shabbat Shalom
