Perhaps the most significant aspect of my November 11 bar mitzvah - TopicsExpress



          

Perhaps the most significant aspect of my November 11 bar mitzvah was the week’s Torah portion, the one I had spent months learning in a bearded rabbi’s dark study: Lech L’cha, the third Sabbath reading of the Jewish year. In it, God commands Abraham to lech l’cha, to go forth from your native land...to the land that I will show you. At 75, accompanied by his wife, Sara, and nephew Lot, Abraham left all that he knew and followed that higher imperative into unknown territory. I couldn’t know at 13 how fully that call would play out in my life... ~ from Acts of Surrender: A Writers Memoir. Find out how Lech Lcha continued to define my life in my Acts of Surrender memoir. Get it now in the Kindle, Nook, Kobo or iBooks store for your e-reader, tablet, computer and smartphone.
