Shabbat Lech Licha

Coming off of a wonderful Shabbat with inspiring words on Yishuv Eretz Yisrael. The words spoken by the Rav made everyone think. Jews that have an Aliyah plan were strengthened and Jews that don't came to realize that they need one. Yashar Koach to all those that contributed.

Seeing the picture of the Judean Desert above made me realize what a test Avraham had. He was coming to a land that was dry and barren. Because of his sacrafice his great grandchildren have the opportunity to inherit a land that is flourishing and blooming. The tests that the Jews of chutz la'aretz have to endure today to come to Israel are nothing compared to those of previous generations. In the merit of our great forefather Avraham, those of us that have Aliyah plans should merit to carry them out soon and those of us that don't have plans should make plans. Shavua Tov!!
