[#921] Lech Lecha: Are you a Fried-man from where you come from?

Parshah - Lech Lecha
10/23/201783

His name was Reb Yisroel Friedman, he was the king of all Rebbes; he was known as the holy Ruzhiner. Why was his name Friedman? Because his father's name was Shalom, so in Yiddish he named himself Fried-man – a man of peace. And as he was escaping from Russia, one of the Chassidim told him "Rebbe, maybe change your name so that when you're asked who you are you can say a different name?” Said the Holy Ruzhiner: לֶךְ לְךָ מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ וּמִבֵּית אָבִיךָ – When you come from the house of Terach, you can run away from your father's house. I can go away מֵאַרְצְךָ וּמִמּוֹלַדְתְּךָ but there's no way that I can go away from being a man of peace. I'm so happy from where I come from! … Today.

[#924] Lech Lecha: Do you do things cause you were yelled at ?

You know, there are things that people wish they could just drop. Sometimes you're yelled at, you feel fear and you just do what you're told to do. You can yell at your kids and you can make them listen to you, but it doesn't last. The holy Re...

[#920] Lech Lecha: Mar Cheshvon - Tishrei's Lips are still moving

Some people see the month of Mar-Cheshvan as "Mar" – a bitter month. It's the time when the leaves come down, the winter begins, the sukkah is packed away and the Lulav is on top of your door, and that Esrog is turning into compote. But the holy R...

Lech Lecha: What's driving you to want to leave the box?!

I have a friend who went off the deep, and he told me “I’m just like Avraham Avinu. He went away from his parents and his heritage, and I’m doing the same.” But there’s one thing that he missed. The holy Minkatcher says: It doesn’t say אל הארץ אשר...

What's the fundamental difference between Noach and Avraham Avinu? Noach gave musser for a hundred and twenty years, but it didn't work. וּמַלְכִּי צֶדֶק מֶלֶךְ שָׁלֵם הוֹצִיא לֶחֶם וָיָיִן - Malki Tzedek taught Avraham Avinu, that with לחם ויין ...

Be honest, are you asking the question because you truly want to learn something new, or is it just a justification that you’re asking as a question? Pharaoh comes and he says: לָמָּה לֹא הִגַּדְתָּ לִּי כִּי אִשְׁתְּךָ הִוא - “It’s because of y...

What do you do when you see a world around you that's so evil and so horrible? Listen to the advice that Hashem gives Avraham the first Jew: לֶךְ לְךָ - go out there, for your sake. But you know where to go? לֶךְ - go, לְךָ - within yourself. And rea...
