Cantor Ben-Moshe’s Weekly message:
This Shabbat, Shabbat Lekh L’kha, is a special Shabbat in Israel. On this day, new immigrants to Israel are honored as we remember the first immigrants to the Land of Israel, Avram and Sarai (Avraham and Sarah). Ever since they were given the charge to leave Haran and go to the Land then called Canaan, we have always looked to there as our home, both physically and spiritually. Even though we may make good lives for ourselves in some of the lands of our Dispersion, especially this one, Israel is always home. May the day soon come when all the Exiles are gathered, and when all of our People who wish to live in the Land first settled by Avraham and Sarah may do so in peace. Shabbat Shalom.
