Parasha "Far Far"
"And the Creator said to Abraham: Go from your country and from the place of your birth and from your father's house, to the Land that I will show you."
(Bereshit- Genesis 12,1)
One of the messages of this important Parasha "Lech Lecha" (Bereshit-Genesis 1:1-6:8) tells us that Abraham represents the soul of the person who wishes to serve the Creator.
Such a person must leave behind "her land" (her materialism), her "birthplace" (her sensual pleasures and depression), and even "her father's" house (the family that tries to keep her in her service to the Creator).
Freed from these burdens, you can travel to the Holy Land, "to Holiness," to the place where supreme joy reigns. There, "I will make you a great nation" (for you will be able to reveal Divinity even to others), "I will bless you" (for then you will be able to attract and receive all blessings).
"I will make your name great" (your vitality will increase) and "you will be a blessing" (for the blessings will remain with you).
Furthermore, by leaving your past behind and embracing spirituality, even if you later have to descend into Egypt (the difficulties and challenges of life), you will have the strength to ascend from there and even take with you many sparks of Healing.
(Excerpts from Likutey Halachot)
As we learn from this Parasha: May we be able to "Lej Leja" (Leave yourself) "depart from that place" and go out towards the true path of Spirituality, the path of Emuna!
