President Obama and the parsha

This weeks Torah portions speeks about the commandment from G-d to Abraham: Go for yourself from your birthplace. This fits very well with our preseidents theme: Change. G-d is commanding us Change! if you did 1 Mitzvah do 2. If you wore Teffillin once a week wear it twice a week. Etc. Every single person has an obligation to change his attitude, thoughts, speech and actions for the better. Shabbat Shalom!

Torah thoughts on Noach

1. One is to see to it that every Jew in his town/city is connected with Yiddishkeit, unlike Noah which built his ark not inquiring on the situation of his people.

2. Just as Noah did not pay attention to the fact that he (and his immediate family) were the only righteous ones of his generation, he served G-d with Love and fear.

3. in Hebrew the word for ark is Taivah which also translates to Word; one must enter in and engage himself with the words of Torah and Prayer.

Shabbat Shalom!
