it's time for rabbi Minko its weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi Mingo 'it's welcome to
this week's Torah lesson this week's
Torah portion is precious laka laka
question of the week is how can we
experience miracles so this week's Torah
portion partial Aloha begins with the
command from God to Abraham lacroix pick
yourself up leave your family and go to
the land that I will direct you to go so
the rebbe asked a simple question
Abraham at that moment was 75 years old
Abraham up until 75 went through a lot
of challenges in life and he followed
God as the story Madras tells us do I he
was so into fiery furnace nothing
happened to him and many other stories
that happened to even out and the
question is why is it her way to least
75 to tells a story about him leaving
for land so there be explains a
phenomenal inside as follows and nervous
is all the challenges that Abraham
Abraham had up until 75 they were
challenges but he was able to
intellectually emotionally work his way
through and transform himself and follow
God and that's great and that's
beautiful but to be recorded in a Torah
as something new and novel it had to be
lucky what is luck LaHood demonstrate la
coka means leave your comfort zone God
comes to a room and says leave here it
didn't make sense and it didn't feel
right but guess what Abram didn't ask
questions he picked himself up and he
went and did what God asked them to do
in other words there's many times when
you want to do a mitzvah or you do a
mitzvah or you want to help somebody you
study tour it makes sense it feels good
so even though you're doing the right
thing you're praying you're studying
you're doing it's old but it's something
that you came to on your own and
something that makes sense to you and
you inspire to do it etc that's
wonderful but then there's times when
there's a call to do something you're
not in the mood of doing it you're not
ready to do it but guess what
that is your lakla huh and when you pick
yourself up and do what you're asked to
do then you have an opportunity like
Abraham to reach tremendous Heights and
to be open to tremendous new areas and
new miracles so in other words to answer
the question how can we experience
miracles in our lives by not trying to
analyze things feels good it doesn't
feel good but doing what's needed and
doing what we're told to do this week's
Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory
of baroque Benari lab and ben
Yosef may their souls be elevated by the
total we're studying in their memory
