328 views
Sometimes survival doesn’t look brave — it looks like walking away. In this week’s Turning the Wheel, Zvi shares how Avraham’s Lech Lecha reminds us that healing often starts the moment we take that first uncertain step. 🚗 Because the road to healing isn’t straight. But you don’t have to drive alone. #TurningTheWheel #LechLecha #Amudim #HealingJourney #JewishCommunity

Have you ever had to walk away from
something without knowing what came
next?
Not because you had a map? Not because
you felt strong, but because stain meant
slowly falling apart? That's what Hashem
tells.
Go to the land I will show you. Leave
your land. Leave your birthplace.

Leave your father's house. Step away
from what shaped you. even if you don't
know what's waiting on the other side.
And that's not just a story about
Abrainu. That's a story about survival,
about walking away from pain even when
dealing still feels so far away. Ali
Rayman, one of the most decorated US
Olympic gymnasts, lived her own version
of La behind the medals, the interviews,
and all the fame she was carrying
silently the trauma of abuse. And when
she eventually chose to speak out, she
did so with courage, clarity, and the
hope that it would protect others. She
said, "I'm not here because I want to
be, but because I believe it's my
responsibility to help ensure this never
happens again." But let's be clear, it's
on us as a community to create the
safety, support, and culture of
compassion that gives survivors the
space and strength to come forward if
and when they choose.
Sedaka is rooted in sedc and justice.
And justice doesn't start in the
courtroom. It starts in our shs, in our
schools, our families, our silence, or
our refusal to stay silent any longer.
Sedaka isn't just about giving money.
It's about giving someone their voice
back, their dignity, their future. If
you've taken even one step away from
pain, even if no one saw it, that's your
If you stood with someone who was
walking their own hard road, you've
already done something holy. And if
you've been blessed to help through
tadaka, through listening, through
believing, through supporting, then
you're not just giving, you're building
a world where healing is possible. And
that is what this para is coming to
teach us. Leaving behind the pain isn't
abandonment. It's the beginning of
becoming.
Wishing you a wonderful Shabas.
