"Yaacov left Beersheba and went to Haran" (Bereshit-Genesis 28,10-32,3)When we want to ascend from one level to another, many obstacles arise that confront us. These obstacles are found mainly in our imagination and illusions, and these arise from anger.When Yaacov wanted to ascend from the "seventh level" as it is written: from "Beer Sheva" literally translates: (from the seventh well of water) to a higher level, he went out to "Haran", which has the same root in Hebrew as ''Haron'' (Divine Wrath), signifying the obstacles he would face before reaching his goal.Yet Jacob was resolute in his determination to serve...

"Lej Lejá" Bereshit-Genesis 12:1- 17,27.It is written:"Go from your country and from the place of your birth and from your father's house. I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you and make your name great." The challenges our Patriarch Abraham faced must also be faced by his descendants! ((Lech Lecha)) literally means: "GO TOWARDS YOURSELF" (go to your soul), which is your true self. May all your travels and searches be focused on discovering your soul and its roots. How can this be achieved? "Leaving your homeland," distancing yourself from materialism and the physical attractions of this...

This Parasha is a portion full of great messages for all humanity. It is written "Noah (Noah) was a Tzadik (a righteous one), he was perfect in his generation. Noah walked with the Creator" (Bereshit-Genesis 6,9) -Noah (Noe) symbolizes peace, since the name shares the same root as the word "Naj" (נח) rest, and the Name "Elohim" The Holy Name of the blessed Creator, refers to the judgments . Noah represents the perfect righteous of each generation who continually seek to mitigate and sweeten the Creator's judgments- The Creator contemplated the earth and here it was corrupted because all flesh...

“You shall appoint judges and officers at all your gates, which Hashem your God gives you. And they shall judge the people with righteous justice.” (18:18) (Parasha "Shoftim" Debarim-Deuteronomy 16:18 - 21:9) We may ask ourselves, why does the Torah begin by expressing itself in the plural—judges, police—and conclude in the singular, “you shall appoint for yourselves”? The correct way would be “You shall appoint for yourselves.” If the Torah were to write “You shall appoint for yourselves,” using the word “Lachem” (For you), which, by altering the letter names, forms “Melech—King,” we would think that the Torah expects us...

Parasha Ree (Devarim-Deut 11:26-16:17) In this Parasha the instructions that the Creator gives us are very clear. ""Go," says Moses to the people of Israel, "Look, I set before you today, the blessing and the curse," the blessing that will come when you observe the Divine commandments and the curse if you abandon them. This Parasha, as we already mentioned, is very clear, since the Eternal tells us to follow the path of obedience; now it is up to us to take that path or not. It is written in the Torah:"See what I set before you today: blessing and...
