Lecha Lecha: An Annual Journey Inward
In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about what it really means that Avraham believed. Not only that he believed in Hashem, but that he believed in his own ability to hear truth. He trusted what he received. He didn’t make himself small. That kind of faith is what begins every healing journey.
I also speak about why the first mitzvah Avraham is given is on the body. Hashem asks him to bring holiness into the most physical and vulnerable place. We are not meant to rise above our bodies, but to invite G-d into them.
Lech Lecha is said to every soul every year. Leave what you know. Go toward the part of you that is your promised land, and each year, take a deeper dive inward.
Thank you for listening,
Lea
