Lech Lecha

Last week s Torah energy was "Noah" Self awareness / inner growth through detachment and being oblivious to the complexity of our surroundings . We Chose inner peace ,serenity and a quick retreat back into the comforting" ark high holiday space". Perhaps the sudden transition into our (Bereshit ) routine was too quick. Suddenly we yearn for "Avinu Malkaynu " closeness again !!!! So we jump back last Shabbat into a mini Yom Kippur closed off experience . This week , G-d gently kicks us off the ark and reminds us We have important "Lech Lecha work to do in the world ! He also reminds us that disembarking from the ark ,like Yom Kippur doesn t mean good bye. We can board the ark daily ,for a prayer service ,a class ,or just to walk in to meditate ,a mini High holiday burst of energy on a daily basis if you will .
