it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is Pasha's luck lahaa the
question of the week is how can you
remain optimistic when going through
challenges so in this week's Torah
portion Pontius lahaa the name la cuca
means less haha God is sending Abraham
on a mission and Rashi says it's for
your benefit and for your good not only
physically but also spiritually so we
know the name of this week's Torah
portion is guess what Abraham you're
going to have a great beautiful journey
which is going to be good for you
physically and even spiritually so let
me ask one second you have a look in
this week's Torah portion and it says
Abraham went descended down to Egypt a
he descended and B into Egypt he was in
Israel be you have the story with
Abraham's wife Sarah was taken away to
the house of pyro which is not a good
thing so Robbie ass it says this week's
Torah portion was lack lahaa you going
up physically spiritually so what does
it mean that Abraham's going down and
into Egypt and his wife is taken away
from him but there are being explains
what you see nevertheless they're both
they're both these stories are part of
this week's Torah portion so therefore
you must say that it must be something
good what what's so good about it no be
explained is very simple lakla hog God
is charging Abraham telling him I want
you to go wherever you're going you're
going as what's own Hashem the will of a
sham it means whatever happens to you in
this week's Torah portion just know it's
for your benefit and for your good
sometimes you will see it clearly right
away like you taste the sweet candy that
tastes week and sometimes you might look
at it like it's you're going down or
your wife is being taken away from you
just know it's all for your good and
it's going to be all for your benefit in
other words anytime a person goes
through we perceive as a you read o as
something going downwards it's not
working out guess what God is part of
everything in your life the ups and the
downs and the downs aren't really downs
for the sake of being down
but ultimately you'll come up and you'll
have greater success afterwards or is
the Hebrew terminology as you read are
the purpose of the decent is Choi halia
so you'll be able to go up higher than
you were before so ultimately everything
a person goes through is for your good
and for your benefit even when it seems
like it's not it is so in other words
the answer the question how can you
remain optimistic even through
challenges learn from this week's Torah
portion Abraham laka laka know that
everything you are going through is all
for your good all for your benefit
sometimes you see it and sometimes it
looks like a challenge but the reality
is it's all for your good this week's
Torah lesson is a memory of burrow and

their souls be elevated to the Torah
that we're studying in their memory
