Lech L’cha – לָךְ-לְךָ (Genesis 12:1−17:27)
This Week’s Torah Portion: Lech L’cha – לָךְ-לְךָ (Genesis 12:1−17:27)
The first commandment to Abraham our father is to go. God appears 10 times to Abraham, seven of them are about going and walking. Jewish law is called Halacha (literally the same as walking). God wants us on the move, not standing in one place. Therefore Jewish tradition is always evolving, always changing, always trying to be relevant to our people!
