Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Vayeira 5780

Bob please join us welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is practiced by you though the question of the week is how can we merit that Hashem should reveal himself to us so this week's Torah portion passes by a row where her son reveals himself to Abraham after having circumcised himself and he wasn't feeling well so there's a famous story with the rubber rod shop the fifth Chabad Rebbe when he is around four or five years old when he was studying this week's Torah portion and he reads the way God revealed himself to Abraham say he went into his grandfather who was the Chabad Rebbe at that time synthetic and he's crying his Rebbe grandpa how come God revealed himself to Abraham and to me he didn't reveal himself so his grandfather responds them and tells him grandson when a Tzadik like Abraham at age 99 decides to circumcise himself isn't he befitting their God to reveal himself to him so let me ask a simple question how is that I responds to a child four or five years old telling him that God revealed himself to who to Abraham age hanging on when he's circumcised himself what kind of comfort is that the child wanted God to reveal himself to him so if you tell them it was Abraham he was 99 he was at Sadiq has it helped me near me explains that we know it's brought down the medalist that God wanted to make a dwelling place down here in this physical world that means any time we do a mitzvah in this physical world whether it's a mitzvah in our body circumcision or any other physical mitzvah we are fulfilling God's dream and wish for God to dwell down here and that's why the verse actually says by a row a lavash n God appeared himself to him doesn't save a hero hi Shan Allah from God appeared himself to Abraham why didn't say he appeared himself to Abraham because the term was teaching us a very very important lesson true that story he repeated he appeared to Abraham but the tour is teaching us by a rail of any body and everyone can be that a love anyone this sucked at the signs to the make a dwelling place down here in this world to fight listening to our God wants respecting our body and only doing things that God wants us to do and not doing anything God doesn't want us do it so we're making God presence felt in this world we will be befitting for God to reveal himself to us the answer the question how can we marry that God reveals reveal himself to us by doing what God wants by making a dwelling place for God down on this world perfectly with our physical body God will reveal himself to each and every one of us this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of borrow from our lane slowmo ben Yosef and ruffle bus liebe may their souls be elevated by the Torah was stunning in their memory for more information please see our website Chabad swf org thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tourism
