Monday | Cheshvan 3 | 5704 | Torah lessons: | Chumash: Lech L'cha, Sheini with Rashi. | Tehillim: 18-22. | Tanya: It would seem (p. 545) ...mouth find favour. (p. 549). | |
(Continuing the above sicha:) Bereishit is a cheerful sedra, even though its ending is not all that pleasant. Noach has the Flood, but the week ends on a happy note with the birth of our father Avraham. The really joyous week is that of parshat Lech L'cha. We live every day of the week with Avraham, the first to dedicate his very life to spreading G-dliness in the world. And Avraham bequeathed his self-sacrifice as an inheritance to all Jews.1
