The bat mitzvah girl today cared about Pharaoh here, and about Avimelech later. She learned from this parsha that we are not supposed to assume other people are godless and immoral (as Abram assumed); rather, they are a lot like us. #ParshaChat

As the parsha continues with the stories of our ancestors making sense of their surroundings, finding allies, and building a better life, in a better world.
May this Shabbat be restful to all (and to myself, let it be). May the week that comes be the beginning of positive change, >

At the end of the day though, it encourages my resolve to keep fighting for what's right.
I have been thinking a lot this week about this week’s parsha (Torah portion): Lech Lecha, which literally mean "go for yourself."

3/ The parsha has the war of the 5 kings after Lot was kidnapped. The story of Hagar and Ishmael and the promise to Sarah to have a child.
In the past, I’ve related this parsha to leaving on-prem and moving to the cloud. However, this time around, I want to focus on the covenant that is created.

1/ Chevre, this week’s parsha is Lech Lecha (לך לך). The idea of leaving your home and going to your homeland makes this parsha very special to Olim. For me this week, this is a very poignant parsha. I was reflecting on my path of Teshuva.

t's a good time to remind ourselves of the Talmudic understanding of this week's parsha - the primary sin of the people of Sodom was the mistreatment of immigrants, and it was this for which the nation as a whole was punished.

Do you not know how Jewish services work? We read a section of Torah every week, we go in order through the five books of Moses. And and my shul, we discuss each parsha, warts and all. Also, our scripture doesn't shit talk Christians & we haven't spent 1000+ years oppressing Christians.

And we all, collectively, have to do our best so we minimize the times one guy acts like G-d in this parsha and wipes out an entire generation.

we have to notice the good in the world.
we have to act like abraham in an upcoming parsha and push back against the widespread destruction of sdom and amorah, because what if a righteous person were present?

i feel like i still haven't found the dvar torah i am looking for in terms of relating to the parsha personally--do i see myself in noah, in hashem, in the tower of babel story, in none of the above? do i have to (groan, gasp) dig into the hebrew and write something myself?

To me Shabbos often feels like Noah's Ark (this parsha - Torah portion):
No matter how tumultuous the week is, Friday night arrives, and our tradition teaches us to stop.
To take a break and a breath.
To light candles.
To have comforting food.
To sit down with loved ones.
To celebrate Shabbat.

There is so much in the first few episodes (parshiyot) of torah we read. This week we have our 2nd episode Noach, which contains the entire flood story and its sketchy weird aftermath and also the tower of babel. i have 987294 drashes in my inbox as usual and also my own desire to study the parsha.

It was my mother's bat mitzvah parsha back in the late 60s and yep, that's exactly what she focused her speech on, too.

This was my bat mitzvah parsha. Like all other Jewish teens I focused on what could be meant by righteous in his time.
I think my conclusion was that we should seek to be righteous for all times but it’s been a long time.

According to this week's Torah reading, the rainbow in the sky is a reminder of God's covenant to Noah. When God sees it, God will remember the promise not to destroy the world again.
implying that God is definitely going to WANT to destroy the world again.
Probably on a regular basis.

Parsha Post: Noach:The ark was a KINDNESS FACTORY. An extreme lack of kindness was the reason for the flood. So G-d put the last family into an ark, and told them they had to spend a year nurturing others. ( animal others). Then they could begin again.
With thx to @AvivaZornberg for this insight.

2/ Toward the end of the parsha we have the listing of generations of who begot who. The AWS write-up explained how many services were connected to each other and impacted each other. (Hint, it’s always DNS)

1/ Chevre, this week’s parsha is Noah (נח). HaShem destorys the world this week. Seemed like something similar happened on Monday. The sign that HaShem won’t destroy the world again is the rainbow. The sign that AWS will do it’s best to not do the same is the public 6-pager explaining what happened.
