Parashat Va'yera 5784 | Someone is at the Door

The patriarch Abraham passed ten trials that proved his faith. The ultimate of these tests was the ‘Binding of Isaac’ featured in this week’s Torah portion of Va’yera: G-d’s command for Abraham to take his son Isaac, the beloved promised child of his old age, and offer him up as an offering. G-d continuously tests us all – it’s a major theme throughout the Torah, and in reality, we are all being tested constantly. But what is the real purpose and nature of the tests that G-d prepares for each individual? Why are we tested? And how can we be sure that we will pass? In this week's portion, we learn that the tests we confront present us with an opportunity to rise to our fullest potential and accomplish our mission in this world.

#4 Vayera And He Appeared

Vayeira Hebrew for “and He appeared,” the first word in the parashah) is the fourth weekly Torah portion in the annual cycle of Torah reading and covers Genesis 18:1–22:24.

Learn about how God "appears" and manifests Himself in different ways in this parashah of Vayeira and how this Torah Parashah reveals God's character of "Tzedakah" (charity) as well as his justice in "mishaptim" (i.e., his Judgements). Come to understand the lessons for our spiritual growth in the stories of Abraham's three visitors and Abraham's bargaining with God over Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's two visitors and Lot's bargaining with the Sodomites, the flight of Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as how Yeshua was the light that came out of the darkness of the cave in which Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father, and how Abraham once again was blessed in even though he passed off his wife Sarah as his sister! Come to understand the symbol of the covenant in the birth of Isaac, as well as the deeper meanings of the expulsion of Hagar, disputes over wells, and the binding of Isaac.

My Honest Thoughts about the Proverbs 31 Woman | Chit Chat with Me :)

Hey friend,
What comes to your mind when you think about the Proverbs 31 woman?
For many of us, we look up to this woman; she inspires us with her strength, discipline, and hard work. But, for others, this “perfect” lady gets on our nerves because of how unrealistic her life seems to be (and we feel like we cannot live up to her). In today's video, I talk about the Proverbs 31 woman and how we might be reading and interpreting it wrong. I hope this is insightful for you and encourages you to delight more and more in God's Word!
With love,
Ashley
