VAYEIRA

Shalom Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the following foundational truth (EMET), that is, the journeys of our ABBA (Father) AVRAHAM are a revelation of the series of events that are destined to unfold the trek that is to be undergone by the Jewish People both on an individual and corporate level. The PERSONHOOD of AVRAHAM provides for his ZERA (seed) an ensample of the do’s and don’ts that if followed will give birth to the manifestation of Supernal Potential.

AVRAHAM is the disclosure of the path of CHAI (life) uncovering the SETER (mystery) of the manifestation of establishing a Conscious Union with ECHAD, Blessed be His Holy Name. Since AVRAHAM, many that have desired to walk on the WINGS of the WIND have been empowered to do so. Indeed AVRAHAM is ROSH TOLDOT, that is, the Head of His generation.

In the SIDRAH, the impetus behind the accomplishments of AVRAHAM are disclosed. What moves him to journey in the beyondness of ECHAD is the motivation behind the words and actions he employed. It is the motivation that belongs to a warrior. A warrior’s impetus is based on the principle of establishing the standards of his nation on foreign ground. Every where AVRAHAM establishes the standard of the G-d of YISRAEL, he builds an altar. It is this motivation that consistently unfolds ATTAINMENTS that lead to ascending into a Conscious Union with ECHAD giving rise to a visible manifestation of the invisible G-d. Yea, it is the establishment of the standards ECHAD on the ground that empowers him in the AKEIDAH, that is, the binding of YITZCHAK recorded in the 22nd chapter of BERESHITH (Genesis).

The AKEIDAH which is called a test given by ECHAD to AVRAHAM is one to reveal the value system to be employed. The choice to be made is whether to value the promise of G-d above the commandment of G-d. The commandment of G-d is His HAND. What has the greater value in the SUPERNAL hearing or receiving? Notice that it was AVRAHAM’S choice to complete fulfillment rather than the suffering that is experienced from CLINGING. No doubt the lesson is that one cannot receive what one is not willing to leave. To become ALL things, one must become NO THING.
