How To Actualize Potential (Abraham Shows the Way) 55:16

5d ago55:16

Abraham's storyline in the Torah is curiously: There are some parts of his life that are told in detail, while other seemingly important events are omitted entirely.

Abraham seems to always be journeying. In last week's Parsha he traveled from his birthplace of Ur to Charan. This week the Parsha begins with Abraham's journey to Canaan. He traveled there with his family, he traversed the land in every direction; and when famine strikes, he went down to Egypt and returns. Abraham's journey is more than being abou…
