"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...

In the present Parasha Moshe Rabenu (Our great teacher Moses) before his death and shortly before the people entered the Promised Land and after a forty-year journey in the desert, continues to remind the people about the great importance of the Precepts, their reward or punishment depending on the fact.At the beginning the Torah tells us: "And you will say in your heart, 'The peoples are greater than we, how can I drive them out?

"A Jok of the Torah that the Eternal commanded, saying: Tell the children of Israel to bring a completely red cow..." A Chok (a Torah decree) is a law whose reason is not revealed to us. For example, in the case of this Parasha, the laws of the Red Heifer, Shaanetz (the prohibition against mixing wool with linen), and Kasherut... "Obey without question" Although the motives for all mitzvot are beyond our understanding, some reasons for certain mitzvot have been revealed while others...

One of the teachings that this Parasha brings us iss on the seriousness of the dispute. "Because Adam caused harm by eating from the Tree, he brought corruption and conflict to his seed. Immediately after sinning, Cain and Abel began to argue with each other. Their argument was a precursor to all the disputes and conflicts to come, especially those against the Tzadikim (great righteous ones). Thus, their conflict engendered Korach's conflict. (Likutey Halachot) Korach separated from Aaron the Cohen because he felt he could support himself and did not attach importance to the evil inclination. In the end, Korach's...
